how to Set a picture as a desktop background

[Guest fabko]

on my laptop using windows home edition, I'd like to set a picture as a

desktop background. Before, it was working but now, it doesn't as probably

something was cliqued somewhere but I don't know where.

When I do it through "display", the button " browse is unclickable and via

the picyure itself, I can click on "set as a desktop background" but nothing

happens.

Can someone help.

Thank you.

sometimes if the

pic is too large,

there isn't enough

memory to display

it or its file format

is not the correct

one.

 

in any case, here

is a link with more

information:

Open your picture in Internet Explorer.

Right-click the picture and choose "Set as Background".
