I know how to personalize my pc with different background colors. However, I would like to know how to use an image stored on my pc instead of a background color. I currently have a slideshow running with my favorite pics and the background color frames those pics, but I would like another image for the background instead of a color.
View 5 RepliesAfter clearing my computer of spyware yesterday, all of my file folders are a pale yellow color? Why is this? Is there any way to change them back to their normal yellow shade? Also, I can only set my backgroung as solid colors, but not images.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I try to change my desktop background image to "Desktop Harmony", the default Windows 7 background, no error message comes up but it stays the solid color. But when I change solid color to solid color, the result is different. The background changes.
BTW, I recently reinstalled Windows, I think I fixed my driver problem because I restored Windows.old, but I can't seem to get rid of all the errors such as this one.

Computer boots ok, the screen will stay on aprox 5 minutes and then the screen saver comes on for about 5 min and then the computer goes to sleep. I would like to be able to keep the main screen on for about 45 min and then have the screen saver come on for about 30 min. I can find no way to do this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently had a really annoying virus which would not go away, after 7 days of fighting with it I decided the best course of action would be to format and reinstall win 7. However now my PC is super slow, I cannot open desktop items, without right clicking and selecting "Run as Admin" and even that is really slow. If I right click and select "Personalize" it hangs for ages then says "Server Execution Failed".

View 1 Replies View Relatedmy GPU is Nvidia Point Of View GTS 450 2GB DDR3. Yesterday I tried to overclock with MSI Afterburner by increasing the values by 60-70 and than I reverted back to original. Today when I started the PC, everything went fine but when I installed The Sims 3 and started it, the PC froze and there were some mixed colors (more like medium length lines, red, purple, green, blue, pink etc. ) on the upper left and bottom right corner of the screen. Than I restarted and it was fine.. Is there something that I should be worried about. The card is bought last year in June/July and it still has warranty. Also I wanted to ask another question, is it better to buy GTX 460 or GTX 560 or just to upgrade this card to SLI
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro on a Shuttle XPC SN27P2 and was wondering if anyone else had seen the same thing?
Problem:
When I boot from the Windows 7 DVD the installation screen comes up in 8 colours only and the screen res looks like 640x480 on a screen that normally runs at 1600 x 1024 (this is what the original Windows XP installation ran).
Windows XP ran fine and did not have any of these problems (with the installer).
I am reluctant to proceed with the installer as I would prefer to iron out this problem before pushing on with the complete install.
Has anyone else seen this?
I have a HP Pavilion dm1 laptop. When I switch to battery I lose colors. Light greys turn to white etc. I think this is a power saving measure but it is really annoying. This does not occur when I am using my power adapter.
Does anyone know what this is and where I can disable it?
How do you save a custom color, I make the color OK but when I close paint and reopen its gone?.

Althought the theme looks very fine to me, i've found several problems such as black typing fields and black fonts on a dark grey background.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile using Windows 7, my screen just turns opaque, and i have to reset my pc.
This happened :
1. Twice in Fifa 10 (exactly at kickoff, green screen)
2. Using uTorrent (White Screen)
3. As soon as i move mouse after boot up ( White)
The main problem is that my monitor goes into power-saving mode upon reset after this screen, and it does not get out of it. I have to wait a few hours everytime this happens to use my pc again. Its not my monitor, cause Ubuntu and Hackintosh work just fine. Today i got a similar black screen with XP. I have also restore factory settings in BIOS. Pls Help.
EDIT : Happened in Hackintosh as well, maybe ill restore BIOS to version that came with my PC.
EDIT : Found out a possible solution thanks to google (Damn! Why does BING even try?), Some RAM settings set to AUTO in BIOS. Will just have to give it the original frequency!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a bit of searching, but I seem to be the only person I can find with this issue (most people seem to have the opposite issue).
I want to connect to my servers using Windows 7 Remote Desktop, but I would really like to do so in MORE than 256 colors.
Everyone I see online is asking how to get it to only display in 256 colors. Well mine will only display in 256 mode and I want it in full color if possible.
I checked the display setting in Remote Desktop and it's set to 32bit, but it never actually does show that way.
Edit: I should mention these servers are mostly running Windows Server 2003 if that makes a difference.
i have a fairly new laptop with windows 7 (i can't remember which version), and i was wondering how to change the colors, if that makes sense.

View 5 Replies View RelatedToday I remembered the name of a game I played when I was quite young, one of the first games I played. It is called the neverhood, and was around at the sort of time when windows 95 was the latest OS. I managed to find a copy today and was all excited to play this game, but the colours are really strange, certain shades are fluorescent pink, green, yellow, etc while other lighter shades are the colour they are meant to be. I can only assume this is because I am using the wrong colour depth or something, the problems were lessened when I set my colour depth to 16bit, but still not solved.
