Sep 14, 2005One of the best features of Win XP is to use any image from any image folder as your desktop background, wallpaper. For some reason this feature has stopped working and of course I have no idea why. I haven't changed any folder options or made any changes for that matter.

Feb 20, 2007I am running Windows XP on a Compaq Presario SR1300NX Desktop computer.My desktop no longer supports a background image. When I go into properties to select a picture, all the options are highlighted and I cannot deselct them.

Oct 17, 2005Last nite, I picked up a worm or virus. It added doser.exe, and a dialer, and some others to my Windows/system32 folder. I went into safe mode and got them out.But now, I can't get any images on my desktop. It doesn't even show an option to do it from the properties window. The browse button is greyed out. However, it DOES show the background right after it boot up. At that time, there are no icons. Then the background becomes a solid color and the icons appear. Otherwise, the system SEEMS to be running fine.

Nov 5, 2006I had an image from an email as my desktop image and accidentally changed it to the default. The email image I was using previously is not saved anywhere on my computer and I do not have the email anymore. For the first five or six times I turned the computer on or off the old image would flash for a brief second (this no longer happens). I am wondering if the email image might be saved somewhere that might be possible to retrieve or is it gone for good?

Both worked without a hitch, but now I found 2 programs running in the background that are eating up my cpu speed. The first was utorrent which I uninstalled thru Add Remove Prog.

Nov 5, 2006I am having this odd graphics glitch on my desktop after I recovered the OS from a system32 file corruption. I used the recovery console to repair the corrupted .dll file, and everything is working properly now except that every once in a while when I right click to bring up an options window on anything (desktop or program icon) and then left click on one of the available options, a ghost image of the option I clicked will remain on the desktop. It doenst interfere with program functionality, but is just more of an eyesore. I have updated all my drivers I can think of and run scandisk on the RAID setup.

This is also the same background that appears during the Windows start and shutdown sequence, before/after the desktop appears.

Jan 14, 2007I'm asking this advice for my wife's cousin. She just got a computer and is a real novice when it comes to using it. The problem she is having is when she launches an application, the desktop wallpaper image still stays displayed over the application screen. For example, when she launches Internet Explorer her home page of Google.com comes up but the background is not a plain white background but is the wallpaper image. The same thing occurs when she launches Microsoft Word. The document background is not a white page but is the wallpaper image. As far as I know the same thing happens for any application she launches. Unfortunately for me the computer with the problem is 200 miles away from where I live so I can't personally try to resolve this problem.

May 3, 2005I have three (3) questions:1. When I'm closing down Windows XP (Home Edition), I continually receive an error showing "XtkU.exe" cannot. I have checked everywhere and cannot find out what this file is associated with. In addition I have gone through my system and purged all files associated with this executable from the registry. They pop right back in there with a system restart. I'm lost and confused now because I don't know what application uses this file.2. When closing down I receive the same Norton error message another user gets."ccaps.exe" at signoff. I will try and remove Norton to see if that works. 3. The user "quick switch" does not work any longer. I am not sure what is causing that either. Do you think it may be associated with the WtkU file?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIE8 Connection Between W120 DPI And Active Desktop Image
Jul 16, 2009Can the active desktop be set to a different DPI than IE8.IE8 uses the font DPI setting of the Windows XP operating system.If you change the font DPI from its standard setting of 96 DPI normal to 120 DPI large, IE8 will render the active desktop with the same change, (since the active desktop is a web page) this will in turn change the desktop image (photo), enlarging it so that it no longer fits on to the monitor correctly, if you have 2 monitors the primary windows monitor image will be enlarged to part of the second monitor and part of the image on the second monitor will be missing. IE8 has a setting to change the DPI back to 96 DPI in the compatibility mode but the desktop image is not displayed in the IE8 browser window so it there is no setting to make the desktop image, compatible or 96 DPI. Changing the font size to large under the Appearance tab, instead of the Settings Advanced tab, does not help the small fonts in the active window. If you are using a laptop computer with 1920x1200 Screen resolution this makes the fonts in the active window painfully small. My question is: Is there some way to use IE8 with 120 DPI fonts and get the active desktop image set back to its original size?
