Can't upload image to wallpaper without enabling Active Desktop by LB
When I select a .jpg from my files to use as wallpaper, I get a message that says I can only use the image if I enable Active Desktop. I don't want Active Desktop enabled . . . and I used to be able to load any image without this happening. How can I get around this?
