Looking For Background Pictures Used In Themes?
Jan 1, 2010I've tried googling to find out the location of the pictures used in themes in Vista and Windows 7 but haven't found any info. Does anyone know where this info is? Just to clarify, I mean the city, state where the pictures were taken. Not the location of the files on the computer.

Feb 14, 2009I have gotten the following message twice over the past two months: windowssystem32configsystemprofileDesktop refers to a location that is unavailable... I then would simply restart Vista (Home Premium) and all would be okay. What would be causing this? Nothing has changed on my system. Is this indicating that something catastophic is about to happen?! I have read the tutorial on how to restore missing folders. Fortunately I'm not at that point yet.

Mar 6, 2010I am running Vista Basic upgraded to Home Premium. For some time I have not been able to set a picture as my background. If I set a picture as my background it does not show on my desktop. All I have is a solid colour which I can change. If I use the switch between windows feature of Aero I can see the background but only after I have selected my desktop from the available windows and use the switch between windows feature again. The picture never shows up on my desktop. I did have a problem with Aero at one time when it would load up when I boot up but as soon as my desktop loaded Aero stopped working. I did get this sorted out by uninstalling and reinstalling my graphics card. I hope this makes sense. I know it is not a big problem but I would just like to be able to set a picture as my background.

View 4 Replies View RelatedBlack Dots On Desktop Background
Jun 5, 2009I recently downloaded a wallpaper changer program called Winvista. As soon as I started to play with the different wallpapers on my desktop, I couldn't help but notice that it had completely cocked up! It seems rather odd, behind the display picture there are a series of grid formad dots, very small and regemented. These move around when I open windows over them or when I select desktop icons. I had a go at changing my resolution, display settings, themes, effects and tried using different background pictures. I've restarted a few times and have selected to use different solid colours, but these dots don't budge.

Mar 4, 2010The thread I'm referring to is called "Black Dots On Desktop Background" and it was posted by charleyvonne. I quote it below. I recently downloaded a wallpaper changer program called Winvista. As soon as I started to play with the different wallpapers on my desktop, I couldn't help but notice that it had completely cocked up! It seems rather odd, behind the display picture there are a series of grid formad dots, very small and regemented. These move around when I open windows over them or when I select desktop icons. I had a go at changing my resolution, display settings, themes, effects and tried using different background pictures. I've restarted a few times and have selected to use different solid colours, but these dots don't budge. The program isn't running now, but I still have the dots! I could try to put up a screen cap of my desktop if it helps?
I downloaded Winvista, a wallpaper changer program, just as this member did, and then black dots appeared on the background colour of my desktop. It is very annoying, and I didn't experience the problem until I downloaded Winvista. I have deleted the Winvista program, since it didn't really work for me anyway, and also I've tried system restore- with no change.I am VERY anxious to correct this issue. Can someone give me some advice? I've checked the advice given on the outdated thread- none of it seemed to offer the solution I need. Also, in the outdated thread charleyvonne didn't seem to find a solution either.

Jul 29, 2009I recently bought a new Vista computer and after a few hours, it wouldn't boot all the way. It drew the desktop background but did nothing else. It was showing the mouse pointer, and Task Manager said only about 5 processes were running, including the desktop manager. It was not the first time I had booted it up. I wound up totally exchanging the whole computer. What would cause this to happen and what could you do to try to fix it - safe mode?

View 9 Replies View RelatedPictures Centered Desktop Wallpaper
Apr 17, 2008I want to put one of my own pictures, centered as my desktop wallpaper. I can get the picture there ok, but if I try to set it as centered, all I get is the center of the picture as the wallpaper. If I try to tile the picture I get the top left hand corner of the picture as the wallpaper. It seems to be tiling or centering the screen on my picture, instead of tiling or centering my picture on the screen! Has anyone else come across this problem?

May 25, 2009Something has changed in my Home Premium system such that I can no longer save to the desktop! When I try, I get an error message stating " You don't have permission to save in this location." I do not recall changing ANY permissions to prevent this. I did have a problem installing Office Home 2007 and maybe that caused a change. Where do I need to go to set the permission back to allow me to save to the desktop?

Pictures Disappeared From Pictures Folder!
Aug 26, 2009All the pictures in my Pictures folder have disappeared, leaving behind a bunch of empty folders. I did not delete them, and I have no viruses according to AVG. It appears that this happened to a few others on this forum, but no solutions were presented. I noticed that the Read Only button was checked on the main folder, so I unchecked it, and I watched the status window un-apply "read only" protection from all my actual pictures files, so it seems to me that they're still there but invisible.
I performed a system restore, and Recova is in the process of performing a "Deep Scan" for my pictures (the quicker scan did not find the files). Has anyone solved the problem of the disappearing pictures? Is this a Vista problem, or perhaps a problem with an update?
Location Is Not Available?
Feb 2, 2010system specs
Windows Vista Ultimate, 64 bit, SP2
I was playing around with the permissions for one of my secondary drives that holds data e.g videos, mp3s so that my pal couldnt get into them and mess around with it and know it gives me this message everytime i try and access the drive.
Location is not available (this appears in the title bar of the error message)
I: is not accessible (this appears in the main part of the error message)
Access is denied (this appears under the above message in the error message)
And there is only an OK button i can press.
So here is how this all came about.
I right clicked on the drive,
selected properties,
Clicked on the security tab,
clicked on the "users" option under the "Group or user names" section,
Clicked on "edit",
clicked on the "users" option under the "Group or user names" section,
selected "deny" for every box under the "permissions for users" section,
clicked apply,
an clicked "ok" until the windows were all closed.
The drive name was then changed to "Access Denied" after i had done this with no letter assigned to the drive.
I went into computer management and assigned a drive letter but still no good.
I now right click the drive and select properties and the security tab is no longer there, so i cannot reverse the permissions.
I am logged in as an administrator.
I have tried to turn off UAC with no luck.
I have attempted to create another administrator account and change the permissions from there but no good.
So does anyone out there know of how i can get this drive accessible so i can access my files?
