Can't upload image to wallpaper without enabling Active Desktop
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? |

Can't upload image to wallpaper without enabling Active Desktop
Thanks. I still couldn't load it from the control panel
(same Active Desktop message), but I just saved it as wallpaper from the Paint program. There's always a way! LB -----Original Message----- Change it to a bitmap - .bmp Joe "LB" wrote in message ...

Can't upload image to wallpaper without enabling Active Desktop
You can change your desktop wallpaper by right clicking a blank part of the
desktop and entering the program that way. Also, you might want to download Irfanview. It's a free graphics program and is simple to use. I've been using it for years. http://www.irfanview.com/ Thanks for letting us know you solved the problem. Joe "LB" wrote in message ... Thanks.

Right. That's what I did, but still got the same Active
Desktop message. That's why I saved from Paint. LB -----Original Message----- Load the jpg into an image editor and save it as bmp avoids the "Active Desktop must be active" bs.

I tried that, but had the same problem. I'll check out
Irfanview. Thanks! LB -----Original Message----- You can change your desktop wallpaper by right clicking a blank part of the desktop and entering the program that way.
