By guusharten on Sep 27, 2009
After a cleaning operation due to a virus attack I have a problem with setting the background image on the desktop. The box to select the image (in personal settings) just displays colors to choose, but it's not possible to choose a picture. If you try to do that, your pictures aren't shown, but just a grey square is shown as the pointer of the mouse is a that pictureframe. If I select it anayway to be the background (I'm sure it must be the picture I want) nothinhg happens to the background. Do you know what the cause of this problem is?

- Thanks for the help. I've tried all that, but to no avail. I still only get grey squares.Sep 27, 2009
- Well, trying that comes my second problem, and probably related. My picturs aren't shown in the folder (same grey square) in large icons mode. If I change that in normal icons, they're shown. If I choose it to set as a background, a solid green color appears on the desktop. If I try the same using Picasa instead of out of the folder itself, the picture appears as background! But if I want to change it again, the same grey squares appear again. There's something wrong with displaying large icons, I guess, since the personalisation of the background is also in large icons. How can Picasa solve the problem and I (Vista) can't?Sep 27, 2009
- Could it be a problem with the Microsoft Office Picture manager? If I change - in the settings of the picture - to view it in the Picasa viewer, the picture is shown.Sep 27, 2009

- Uhm, I guess that solution is out of my league. How do I save the dll and where do I get a new one, and how do I install it?Sep 27, 2009
