I need help badly. If you solve my problem I will forever be in your debt.

Saturday, July 8, 2006 by Dr1Death1 | Discussion: OS Customization

ok heres the deal.
lately my computer has been acting up. (this is shortly after installing some custom theme) cant remember which one though.
Anyway. i got tired of it all and romoved everything and set it all to defaults cause the custom stuff was getting old.
so after i un installed it all my background can only be a color. i cant change the picture no matter what i do. ive installed windows blinds tryed then un installed. ive ran virus scans i cant figure out what is wrong. i cant even select a picture for my background all choices are greyed out.
but occasionally like when im shuting down or logging on it will show the image for a breif second.
do you know whats wrong?
PLEASE HELP.

What you should do is pretty obvious, but I can't remember what it is.

Poor attitude won't help. Humor is part of this community, try being a part of it before you dismis it. Google it yourself if you're going to be a putz.

aw come on. my reply was fair considering when I posted it you only had:

go back to the properties, desktop tab, customize desktop, web tab. uncheck any web pages and unlock desktop items (click all the oks and applys)

if there is no web page, add one and see if another hidden on shows up.

Piss off asshat. Sometimes people leave smart ass remarks just to keep your thread on top in case someone who knows the answer may find it. If I knew the answer I wouldn't tell you because you seriously lack class.

MasonM, go back and look at #7, 2nd quote - that 's all that was posted when I first replied.

He was probably editing while I was posting.

(this is shortly after installing some custom theme) cant remember which one though.

That hardly assists with problem-solving.

'custom theme'...of/for what?....WinAMP?

Unfortunately 'help' is limited by the principle of 'GIGO'.

You really need to be more precise with your problem's description/cause...

Thank you for apologizing. That's cool.

Open an image in MS Paint . . .Open the wallpaper you want . . . File | Set as background.

Any error?
Are you running as an admin?

never mind, look at #142 on the right column. mouse over before you click - there is an enable and disable.

try the enable one. it's a reg.  I believe double clicking it will put it in.
