Fruity Insanity Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 So, my (family) computer can't display wallpapers... I've literally been searching an hour (thatsalongtime!) for answers... Everything I found didn't work. (Well, either that, or I wasn't doing something right.) Oh, the computer's a Mac... running on XP. (I guess we're more comfortable with Windows... and old Windows OS.)

Esau of Isaac Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Open the image in Photo Viewer, right click, choose set as desktop background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Tried that already... It didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 As in the background doesn't show up? Just black? Is your copy of Windows licensed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 I don't know if it's licensed or not... And yeah, just black. Well, actually, I can change the color (blue, purple, green and whatnot), but no images. I mean, it was working a week or two ago, but now... nothing.

Kramy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's a VIRUS!!!! in all seriousness, don't know what is wrong with your computer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Maybe it's a virus... ... ... ...? Is there a virus that specifically prevents you from putting up wallpapers? 'Cause that's the only problem I've encountered. Edited February 12, 2013 by fireemblemfan4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cause that's the only problem I've encountered. It's a computer behavior referred to as a sense of self. Try putting up wallpapers that reflect who your computer is, rather than who you are. Respect your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Uh... ... ... ... Okay? The only thing is... the computer's not putting *any* wallpapers up. Only colors work. Screensavers work fine. Everything works fine. Only wallpapers don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screensavers work fine. Everything works fine. Only wallpapers don't. Sorry I was just throwing an offhanded comment. I actually have a "problem" similar to this, where I currently have a blank blue screen instead of the wallpaper I added. However, once or twice (on shutdown/startup, or other times I reboot the desktop) my wallpaper shows up again for a second. I'm guessing if I tried to put up my wallpaper again it would fix it, but I actually like it fine the way it is. Ya, I just tried to put up a new desktop background, don't have the same problem, can't help. (I think Minister Foss likes looking into blue skies better than into blue eyes.)
