Background wont load and cant loador remove Active Deskstop

This is most like a problem with your graphics chip. You will most likely need to have it serviced. The lock button will "lock" your screen bringing you back to the Windows login screen.

Open up any of your picture folder. Right-click on the picture thumbnail or picture icon that you want to make your desktop background and select "set as desktop background". I hope this will work for you.

This could be a sign of possible issues. I would check the drive for bad sectors. I would run a test of the memory (such as Mem test86) and verify there are no problems.

The earlier "active desktop" function in Windows XP that allowed a live webpage as a desktop is no longer present in Vista. It was replaced by the SideBar. You probably need to look for a sidebar gadget that offers this functionality.

Hello, you would need to create a GPO that gets applied to all computers in your AD domain. Within the GPO you can specify the file name of the background image you plan to use. Be careful of different screen resolutions as the image may be distorted from machine to machine especially if you have Desktops & Laptops. In that case you'll need 2 different GPOs pointing to different image files or you can do some more intelligent scripting to determine screen res.
Should be set here:
\User Configiguration\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop\

• Enable Active Desktop; and
• Active Desktop Wallpaper

Good luck!
