Wallpaper Windows 7 stuck on "stretch"!

Hello world

I know it is an extremely important issue, but it seems that no matter how many different ways I try to toggle the settings of my wallpaper of "stretch" to "adjust" or "mosaic" or any other option, it always comes back to the back to stretch. I tried different themes (Aero, classic, etc.) as well as the different images and image formats, and while the changes I make to the image and theme always stick, no matter what I do, the image still affects return to 'stretch '. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

  • Solution for stuck on Stretch wallpaper

    Hi all

    Hewlett Packard came out with a fix to resolve the basic problem of screen being stuck on Stretch.

    Although he began his life as a landmark of HP, judging by the answers to previous posts, it also works with machines not HP.

    Try this:

    Hi the Geek Brazil,

    There are some settings that Standard users cannot do. I suspect that this is one of them. Could you try the following:

    1. you will need to get the patch file .exe so do one of the following values:

    -Save the file .exe from the top of this thread in a place where other users can start working (probably Office Public, or you can put it on a memory stick)
    -connect to this Forum by being connected as a Standard user.

    2. go into the Control Panel

    3. in the user accounts and family safety category click the link add / delete user accounts

    4. click on the name of the account of users who would like to change the wallpaper setting

    5. click on the link change the type of account

    6. click on the button of the administrator to select

    7 apply the fix to all .exe file where you saved in step 1.

    8. repeat the above steps and go back to a Standard user in step 5.

    That should do the trick. Let us know?

    Best,

    Sharon

  • Wallpaper is stuck on "stretch".

    original title: stuck on "stretch".

    I want to change my desktop wallpaper 'mosaic', but it is stuck on "stretch. How can I fix?

    Sometimes, this can happen when the selected photo is larger than the resolution of your screen. Try the small pics as your screen resolution.

It is also in the main window, but I can drag the other windows on it. Essentially, this does not in my view.

    I just corrected it. the title bar should be turned on? Is by default 'off' and why? I go to display/Toobars/customize. The response time for clicks grew by at least 2 x the latest version. Now, I have no footer for my apps bar, maybe I'll find that, too?

  • Windows Update stuck at 'Check updates'

    Original title: Windows Update stuck

    I had to recover my laptop windows 7 back to out-of-box state system. Once presented to my office, I immediately went to Windows Update to install all of the updates that I needed. After installing SP1, and restart the computer, windows update to update the update agent, so he could get some more updates. He said he would close and re - open Windows Update, which she did, but now it is stuck on "check updates".

    The update that broke the update of Windows was "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320"

    I have since made a recovery of the system to the State out-of-box three times and each time "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" installs Windows Update is stuck saying "check updates".

    I did tons of attempts to solve this problem, but it won't find more updates and I can't install more updates.

    I have also experienced problems with Windows Update still looking for updates when Windows Update 7.6.7600.320 has been installed automatically after the system update to SP1 (it was after doing a clean install of Windows 7).

    The following worked for me:

    1. manually installing KB3083710

    2. manually installing KB3102810

    3. restart the computer

    4. run the Windows Update Diagnostic tool to reset Windows Update (support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058)

    5 restart the computer again and search for updates

  • Updates Windows 7 stuck in verification mode

    After a dismal upgrading to W10, I decided to restore on W7.  Everything is fine, but updates are glued to the verification mode.  I waited hours, tried tools, checked computer files for corruption, the FixIt Windows thingy... nothing worked.  I can't try a bunch of command prompts or removing and reinstalling stuff more things.  Someone has another help or am I screwed because Microsoft deliberately sabotaging W7?  Frustrated!   Thank you.

    You have two options here.

    Option 1 - use a guide to solve the problem

    You can read my wiki article on how to solve this specific problem. Attention, it requires technical skills to some extent. That being said, here is the link:

    Windows Update stuck on "checking for updates... ».

    Option 2 - use the Roll-Up of the Windows Update

    Recently, Microsoft has packed all the updates of Windows 7 over the past five years in a single, easy-to-install package. Instead of spending hours trying to install updates 200 +, just install the roll-up and make. Personally, I would say this to option 1. I wrote an article of wiki for more details. Here is the link:

    -Starting repairs na not

    -I don't have a Windows 7 CD or the HP recovery CD

    -I've never had viruses or malware or connect USB drives for this laptop

    I got a blue screen down yesterday (no external connected device), after which Windows does not go beyond the loading screen. I have not installed the new drivers and programs recent. The last thing I've updated some Adobe applications ended a month ago but my latop working well at all until this blue screen suddenly. It is also the first blue screen crash in like 2 years.

    What has not worked:

    Start by using last good configuration, under the main boot menu

    Uninstalling the drivers I thought to be the cause, in safe mode

    Msconfig: Disable everything under services and startup

    PROMT command: Sfc/Scannow

    My system does not display the restore points

    However, I found restore factore default but that's the last thing that I want to try because I have to do my music and adobe production apps back will cost a lot of time and data.

  • Update of Windows 8 stuck at 12%

    Update Windows 8 stuck at 12%. Frustrating because I had to deal with the error 13% already. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Hi all

    Update for Windows 8 (KB2771431) was released in December 2012, which the fixed an issue that was causing this update stops responding at 12% and caused also updated KB2756872 to stop responding to 13% of configuration updates.

    If you hide one of these up-to-date or disabled the automatic updates to avoid this problem, you can now activate or restore your updates and search for new updates.  Details on how to restore updates can be found here.

    To search for new updates:

    1. Type Windows Update in the start screen, press or click settings, and then tap or click install optional updates.
    2. Press or click the link in the upper left corner that says check the updates.
  • Downloads/history/Bookmarks window is stuck in fullscreen

    It started to happen after I started using full screen and split on the new OS X El Capitan.

    I don't know what I did, but the window bookmarks/downloads/history (the one that appears when you click on "View history", etc.) is now permanently stuck in fullscreen. It takes up the entire screen and it disables the menu bar and Dock as would a normal fullscreen - but it is clear that this is a bug, I can somehow move (see screenshot). No title bar is displayed when I move my cursor to the top of the screen, and the usual shortcut of control-command-F toggle full screen doesn't seem to work.

    How can I fix?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the < shift >

    key and then from Firefox. Is always the problem?

  • Computer laptop Pavilion G6 with 8.1 window is stuck on the installation of updates

    Hi my old laptop Pavillion G6 of 12 months (which was the worst computer I've ever owned!) is stuck on an update. The screen shows the message "Keep your PC up to... this installation to update 1 of 2" for 12 hours (overnight).

    A little over 2 weeks ago he had a problem with the WiFi connection - which also seems to be associated with the Windows updates - I got this one and it has been fine since then. Started an automatic update last night and now he's stuck. Any ideas?

    Hi Jamame,

    Thanks for your post, I will do my best to help you!

    I see that your computer did an update for more than 12 hours and has not completed or seems to have improved.

    First of all you could cancel the update, restart the computer.  Then you would go The HP Support Assistant to search for updates or problems. Here is a document to help performance. Improve the performance of the system without adding memory (Windows 7). I would also like to launch the File Checker.  Using the File Checker system to restore the system files. Now repeat your update with her power.

    If you want more help, please can you give us the exact model of the G6 you and the operating system you are using. How can I find my model number or product number?

  • One of my two Firefox Windows is stuck at halfway offscreen

    I am running Vista, fully updated. I have two windows open in firefox, both with ten legs. I was moving around and accidentally moved one half out of the screen. Now he is stuck there, and whenever I try to bring him back, he moves slightly, then freezes and doesn't let me do anything until I hit ctrl-alt-del; then when I hit Cancel and return to my office, the window is returned to its original position off screen. I tried to close all currently running C-Cleaner, then by restarting my computer, but no luck. The window returns to the same place and seeds even when I try to move it. I can move the other Firefox window without problems, and Word and windows Digsby. Any ideas?

    In the Task Manager Applications tab, you can right-click each Firefox window and select to "maximize".

    You can start by CTRL + ALT + DELETETask Manager.
