Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008how to Set a picture as a desktop background
on my laptop using windows home edition, I'd like to set a picture as a desktop background. Before, it was working but now, it doesn't as probably something was cliqued somewhere but I don't know where. When I do it through "display", the button " browse is unclickable and via the picyure itself, I can click on "set as a desktop background" but nothing happens. Can someone help. Thank you. sometimes if the pic is too large, there isn't enough memory to display it or its file format is not the correct one. in any case, here is a link with more information: http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?q=desktop+picture&qsc0=0&SearchBtn0=Sea rch&mkt=en-us&FORM=SSME  Signaturedb·´¯`·...¸><)))º> > on my laptop using windows home edition, I'd like to set a picture as a > desktop background.
