Windows XP - grey wallpaper - cannot browse

Want to change the wallpaper from a personal photo to a different personal photo, but the button is gray out or inactive.  The substantive title on the list of built-in backgrounds is also gray out or inactive.  Can't choose one of the settings in the list.  How can I activate the wallpaper so I can change.  Your help is appreciated.

Open your photo, right-click, and click on set as desktop background.

  • Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to the internet even though I have full WiFi access.

    Original title: Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to internet even though I have full WiFi access-problem occurred just after working fine for over a year

    Uses Windows 8.1 for over a year with no access to the internet.  Today, I can access is no longer the internet using Explorer, Mozilla Fire Fox or store apps.  (Tried to install a game just to test the internet connection-no luck).  When I try to connect the computer just sits there with the indicator connection just spin but never passes through.  I have good indicated WiFi (Internet) access.  While they inspected the updates, the only thing that appears on the current date is some Microsoft Silverlight is.  Could that that may cause my problem?  I didn't do any changes and have no problem until today.  I'm not always well informed in this area and I am at a total loss as to how to proceed, what to check... hope someone can advise me.   Thank you, DebbieG211

    Hi Debbie,.

    You might face this problem because of wrong settings in Internet Explorer. You mentioned that you get the update of windows Microsoft Silverlight, so we can deduce that there is a problem with the Internet browser. Please write us with the following details.

    (1) do you get error messages when all websites fail to load?

    (2) what is the brand and model of your computer?

    Why can't I connect to the Internet?

  • iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone, which has the latest operating system running

    iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone running. I downloaded the latest OS for the phone and the latest version of iTunes on my PC and have tried all USB ports several times. I also reinstalled drivers USB to the PC.  The phone is recognized on the computer of a friend under Win 7. All shows when I plug it on mine is a page showing the 'Apple iPhone' folder display of storage internal (2.18 GB free of 14.7 GB). Troubleshooting in devices and printers, where the phone displays as "Not specified Apple iPhone" generates a message saying that "Apple iPhone is an older USB device and may not work with USB 3.0 and plug it into a USB 2.0 port." But when I use USB 2.0 (I tried several times using each of the three USB ports on my PC), troubleshooting the error message says "Apple iPhone won't work correctly with USB 3.0." This seems to be a recent problem, since in March 2016, I could spend a few songs from my PC to my phone using iTunes.

    I wish I had some ideas of people who have experienced this problem, I find to be a more frustrating one.

    Well, you aren't the only one. This just freakin happened to me. I spent the last three hours with apple and Windows supports. Now I'm reinstalling Windows 10 by last resort of Windows support councils. I got the same message USB. In iTunes, under devices something removed my 5s and the iPad. But it remains 6 s wife. I tried my computers 2-(SS) 3.0 ports and 1 port 2.0 ordinary. I tried all four thinners cables I have. I will let you know the result of the Windows reinstall.

    When I try to update to Firefox, I get a window saying that it cannot be loaded because I don't have all the necessary permissions. What do this mean and what do I do?

    If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG

    • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
    • Install the new version you downloaded

    Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

    Looks like you have another program that is running in the background. Google Maps made this for me - it did not close down. To fix this set your homepage to a site that you would not normally visit - doing nothing, so go back to your normal home page and reset it again. Problem should be gone - but I avoid Google maps now because I don't want it to happen again. However, Google Earth is very well.

  • Trying to remove the folders from Windows one system empty, but in error "is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. »

    My parents bought a laptop from a friend, and recently my father ran an antivirus program that came with multiple files in a folder that has been created by this friend. When you try to delete the folder a box appears that says "it is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. "But all the folders inside are empty and of no use to us. Help?

    The standard answer to questions that begin with «I bought a used computer...» "is you can do a clean install of Windows, because you know not what could be hiding somewhere in the computer.  In this case, it seems as if he is infected with something.

    Legally, the seller was required to give you a way to do this reinstall, but in the vast majority of the private sales of used computers, this requirement is simply ignored.

    If it's a laptop to 'mark' (e.g., Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo) there may be a hidden partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Of course, this will remove all applications that the previous owner had installed after he or she has bought new, but you should still seriously to consider making such a restore, if the mechanism is available.

    What is the name and the version of the antivirus application that has detected the wrong files?
    What are the names of the files?
    What is the name of the folder that cannot be deleted?
    Are you logged on as a user with the rights "computer administrator" when you try to delete it?

    Assuming that you can not or will not do a clean install of Windows, I suggest the following (do not run scans at the same time, each analysis may take some time, depending on the number of files on the computer):

    Connect as a user with the privileges "computer administrator" and do a full scan with each of the following:

    Original title: can not open files

    I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer. I get no errors, but nothing happens when I click on one of them.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to solve the problem before you receive your advice to defragment my hard drive. I had the problem on / off power for about six months and defragmentation has not always been successful success so when it happens then I will go through the procedures that you have listed. I have installed and uninstalled various applications in the last six months and suspect that the register is not in optimum condition... I have a problem during a shutdown or reboot stop where I get an error of tfswctrl.exe I close and the system then hangs and requires a medical examination. Is there, by chance, a Microsoft utility that cleans up the registry for applications that have been uninstalled, but be persistent pieces that shouldn't be there?

    Thanks again for your advice.
