I wanted a new background for the computer, but I could not set as background the picture was a jpg., I will bet it has something to do with microsofts update they never do anything right.

Is it possible to make it possible for users to be able to have the option "set as background" without changing every picture to gif.

What OS you have? I have XP and I can do .jpg and .bmp. If there is an issue with .jpg, why don't you just convert it for testing reasons? My computer is fully updated.

After re-reading your post, can you describe what you are trying to set, and how you are doing it? You mentioned "different sites on the web"?

I went to different sites on the net that offers background for the computer and it was the same problem, I could not use the function "set as background" but only jpg.

If I try to "set as background" my background wich is on my computer is gone.

It is kind of wierd.

Accepting "wallpaper" from sites can be very dangerous ..it's a real good way of importing spyware , keyloggers etc ...
