While attempting to customize my desktop display I am unable to assign a photo from file (jpeg) to be used as wallpaper. I can assign screensavers or change colors or any other display function but the prompt buttons to browse wallpaper options do not light up. I have been able to do this previously but not now. :whistling:

sorry, not quite clear here
- what are your photos associated with at the moment
(for example 'windows picture and fax viewer' or something else)
- are you saying that if you do the below, the promp does not open or that this one picture does not work
