I have windows 7 on my computer and I want to make a photo I took as my desktop's background, but I want it to be a smaller size and only in the middle of the screen. Everytime I try to make it my background (even after re-sizing it) it takes up the whole space. It is possible to make it my background but only in the center of the screen and not take up the whole screen?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've just had to do a factory restore on my laptop to clean it up and now I've reloaded everything I can't seem to change the desktop background. Well, I can set a different picture, but I can't change the settings for stretch, centre etc. I can access them and try but when I click on save nothing happens.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI changed my settings somehow when I first purchased my new laptop, which is running Windows 7.I wanted to turn off my desktop background and succeeded. Unfortunately, I can't get any backgrounds to display now. I have tried going into control panel and changing the background there and the icon in "personalization" changes and shows the thumbnail of the image I am trying to set as my background. However, my desktop remains black.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a user with a Windows 7 64 bit machine on our domain. A few days ago he recieved a nasty malware virus and we removed it with our virus tools. However, his desktop is not the way it use to be before the malware. The obvious problem being his desktop background is black and it does not change. When I try to change it in control panel to Architecture or Landscapes, nothing happens, just the color of the taskbar changes. Also, Ive noticed that his "Accessories" folder is missing.I tried adjusting settings in the Ease of Access section, but still does not work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy desktop background, which was a slideshow from one of my folders of photos suddenly froze on one picture which showed the top one third correctly, the second third as multicolored horizontal lines and the bottom one third as grey. I was unable to affect this in any way using 'personalize' but finally got rid of it by moving the folder of photos elsewhere and restarting. I am now only able to select a solid color. When I try to set anything else, I can set everything as I wish in the personalize window but when I click 'save changes' it reverts to solid color again. If I right click any picture and select 'Set as desktop background', absolutely nothing happens. I have tried restoring to an earlier time which had no effect on the problem.

Right clicking on my desktop and clicking Personalize> Change theme and then setting it from there is not working either. The only thing that does work is setting a solid colour as a background (not too inspiring).
I want to program a keyboard shortcut for the "Next desktop background" option. I do not want to use a 3rd party wallpaper changer app..The registry keys for desktop background slide show settings are: [code]

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow can I get the shortcut back? My desktop background didn't want to change (it went to black, and stayed black no matter what), so I decided to do a System Restore. I went to the start menu, all programs, accessories, system tools.No system restore. Missing.I did manage to do the good ol' F8 trick while starting Windows to use the system restore; backed up to my programs from yesterday. My desktop background decided to start working again, so one less loose end.I don't fancy going through my system32 folder just to restore, so can someone tell me how to get rstrui.exe back in my system tools folder as a shortcut?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI know this has been asked over and over. But the answers are many and I am just not sure what I should do. I have a Toshiba Satellite that I just purchased, 4 GB and an AMD quad core processor.I thought the problem seemed to occur after Windows updates but now I am not sure. It just seems to happen intermittently.Essentially, no icons load to the desktop, no other software seems to load.
