Computer Question [Windows 7]
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 6:36 pm
Not sure where to put this so I hope here is okay. If not, could someone move it to the correct area?
Anyway, so I know have my husband's desktop since he is on the road with trucking. He altered some settings on his desktop so he could run a few games better that where higher quality than WoW. All I do is play WoW and browse and watch stuff on the internet. He can't seem to remember what he did, but I would like to change it back if possible.
So, part of the problem is images. I cannot put an image as a background, the "Personalize" setting looks like THIS. The grey boxes, I cannot even click on... When I click to change the background, it only gives me the choice of solid colors and that is it. :/
Now for pictures, it ticks me off a bit more because I like to look at the thumbnails for it is easier to organize pictures and know what everything is. Now THIS is what it looks like when I have the image setting set to "Large Icons". I have to actually double click the image to view it full screen.
I've tried looking up solutions on Google, but I am at a lost on what to even look up or how to fix this. If you need more screenshots of certain things, let me know. I hope someone here has the know-how on how to fix this for me. I just want Windows to actually look like Windows 7 and work that way. Oh and to make this all even more fun, my husband did the same thing to my laptop...well most of it. He said he can still change the settings back to regular Win7 and can see thumbnails of the images. So I don't know what the heck he did on here....
