Forgive me if I am posting twice, the same thing. My question disappeared. I have Windows 10. When I personalize my desktop I browse to a picture and click ok. After a day or two I start getting this error message. The pictures I use have been saved from Window 7 themes, bought or downloaded free. They do not have copyright on them as far as I know. I use the same pictures on my Windows 10 laptop and do not get that error. I hope someone can help me fix this. Need step by step because I am not that tech savvy.

Hi Gramps:
Welcome to the Forum. I hope that someone will be able to help you. I cannot do so, as so far, I have been able to avoid the move to Windows 10... I am sure that someone will be along soon with some suggestions.

Thanks, I tried each and every one of them. No go. Still getting the same message. I don't want to have to reset my Windows 10 computer again. I have had to do that 3 times already. It means reinstalling my programs over and over again. It is strange that this is happening on my desktop computer but not my laptop. I will click close on the message and it will pop back up then I click close again and it goes away until the next time. |

Wild guess: the theme gramps has chosen is for some reason incompatible with Windows 10. Maybe he'll remember how not all programs from Windows 3.1 wouldn't work on Win95, how XP programs wouldn't transfer to Vista or Win7, hosw Win8 was even less cooperative. If Win10 is snooty, it should not be a surprise.
Or maybe something else is at work, but that's what I'd guess from the message he's getting.

Blueboxer, I at first had the same thought as you did, that something about the picture was not compatible with Windows 10. However, gramps2005 said that he had no problem using the picture on his Windows 10 laptop, so it sounds as if the problem lies elsewhere. Alas, I have no idea where. I'm still using Windows 7.

Wonder if among Windows 10 widely reported phobias is screen sizes common on standalone monitors but not found on laptops. Perhaps if gramps is up to it and curious enough, he could use an editor to fiddle the picture size that's working on the laptop to one of the defaults on his desktop monitor, and see if that works. Suspect it won't and it is likely too much trouble to try anyway, but it would eliminate one more wrong answer.
