Question Posted Wednesday April 6 2005, 12:34 pm

Ok, so on my computer I am trying to get a background on my home screen of a picture of Tyler HIlton. I copy a picture from the web, save it, then go onto Paint. When I get to paint and try to set it as a background, it tells me to save the file. I try saving it, (again) but it wont let me save it so I cant get the picture as a background. Any help would be awesome, because its kinda confusing. Thank alot
I rate high

The best thing to do is go back to the internet and find the picture you want. Right click on the picture and go to "Properties", then scroll down and click on "Set as Background" and it'll be on your background. Simple as that hun!

Whats it saying? The easiest thing to do. Is go back to the site, get the picture right click and make it a background from the options on there.

with out taking it into paint you should be able to right click and then select 'set as background'.
With paint you need to save it somewhere where it will let you save it and then go to 'set as background'and if both of those dont work then i dono..
hope i helped.

This is really simple.

Find the picture on the internet and right click on it. A menu should come up that says something like:
Open Link
Open Link in New Window ect

If you go down to about the 10th thing (on Windows XP Internet Explorer) it should say "Set as Background."

Click on that. You don't even have to save it.

Did you save the picture in the right file? When that message comes up for me, I save my picture to the "My Pictures" file under "24-bit Bitmap" and then I go to my desktop, right click on the screen, and then I go to "Properties", then to the "Background" tab, and the name of that picture is in the list of all my other backgrounds/wall papers. When I do that, it works for me. Or I just click "Set as Wallpaper (tiled)" and that works too.

Or in your picture file, you can double click on that Tyler Hilton picture. It will then open up in an Internet Explorer window and if you right click on the picture, you click on "Set as Background" and that should work.
