Why can't I put a picture in my Gallery personal photo as my (desktop wallpaper) background now?
I mean, it's just recently (about a week) I noticed that the only way I am able to set a picture as my wallpaper is when I go into Control Panel, browse and then set. Whereas before I could always just do a right-click on the image and choose 'set as wallpaper' to change. Now, when I right click on any pic stored in my Gallery and choose the option set as my bottom nothing happens! No idea why it suddenly does not work when I click with the right button on the image and choose as wallpaper? What can I do to fix this?
Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
See you soon.

Why can I not see some pictures in Photos when you try to import from my iPhone 5s?
It brings only pictures I took, I have finally connected to the computer, but there are a few pictures I now want to import that I don't have a chance for the last time.
Where can I find these "old" photos so that I can import them please? I get my new iPhone 6 s tomorrow and I want to get everything on this iPhone 5s so that I can reset and give it to my sister. Thank you.
You can only import pictures by connecting to USB, which lie in the film of your iPhone album. You cannot import photos that have been synchronized to the iPhone by iTunes, and you cannot import photos that are not stored locally but in iCloud photo library. Are your photos in the camera roll, that you can't see on the pictures?
Then try to import them into a folder on your desktop and launch the application of Capture of the Image instead of Photos. It should show you all the photos in the camera roll, even the photos already imported the photos earlier.

Why can I not see a picture? n
I saved a picture in my "Images" file and I see an icon of the white page instead of the photo that I saved. I opened with Windows Photo Gallery and then could see the photo and I recorded it. The image still does not appear. Y at - there a trick to this? I never had this problem before but just changed from Verizon to Comcast.
AnnIf this occurs only with a single picture... There may be a problem
with the format. Try to open it in paint and save it in JPEG format
(with a different name) and see if it makes a difference. -
Why can't I put my preferred language to British English and keep it together
Adobe dear community
Am sure I asked this question before but don't know if I got a response.
I am a citizen of the United Kingdom, born and raised and I understand the majority of major Web sites and programs are and were created in the United States, but the majority of my reading and writing is in a UK format.
What I don't understand is why preferences are so limited?
Below, I have an image of the "set preferences" on the offer of your service for us and I would like to know why the preferences do not offer to have customers Adobe PDF updated British English, rather than having to modify manually every time.

========================================
In Windows Live Photo Gallery... right click a thumbnail
or a selected group of thumbnails or even a folder and
in the menu... Choose... "Copy".You can select several photos of your choice by
holding your CTRL pressed to the left by clicking on the thumbnails.The flash drive or memory card should be recognized at...
Start / computer / devices with removable storage...
with a drive letter.Right-click on the drive letter that represents your flash drive
or memory card and in the menu... choose... 'Stick '.--
If you go directly to your folder of images to transfer the
files... When you right-click the selected (highlighted)
inches or a complete... the menu will have a
option "send to" and you can choose the drive letter
the SD card.If you receive an error indicating that:
"Impossible to copy the XXXX: failed to create the directory or file.

the SD card to make room for folders) -

I received an e-mail from one of my friends with photos attached to e-mail. I wanted to save my computer. If I click on download and click on the file and click ok.
