Title: Desktop picture's vanished
Post by: GROWLER on March 15, 2009, 11:44:16 PM
Screen is all black now apart from all those short cut icon thingies when I turn this heap of shite on.  evil:
Had a lovely piccy of 'me ill' to greet me every morning, but now it's a black as a coalmans arse.

Tried reloading a new piccy but to no avail.

Will this heap of electrical crap have some sort of option to turn it on/off somewhere buried inside, cus if it has, I can't find it. noooo:

Have you tried to reconnect the link to your original desktop background picture.

Has it been moved to another file or anyone else tinkered with your PC ???

Growler jnr has down/up/whatever loaded 'MYPC' to link up his college 'puter werk to his stuff in this shed, yes. That's when all of our desktop piccies vanished.
Tried deleting it but it won't go. evil:

It sounds rather as though you still have the connection running. You should be able to find the little picture that MYPC uses in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. Right click on it and make sure that it is actually disabled.

Yup. Went in there and asked told it to delete it NOW. evil:

Came back to me after a few seconds and told me that it was not allowed to for some technically random reason.

Just WHO/WHAT TF does it think it is telling me what I can and cannot do on and in my own 'puter ey? Heap of rancid bladder boiling electrical shite. I'm one step away from sticking it in the microwave....amongst a few other things. Angry9:

Look YOU. It may only be a picture, but it's a nice one that calms me down when I switch this nasty heap of steaming cack on.
If I want black blankness, I'll just belt meself over the head repeatedly, the option of which is rapidly approaching.
I'm very swiftly losing patience with THIS and many other things. Something is going to get the fallout shortly, mark my bloody werds. Banghead

Correct. I'm waiting for Growler jnrs to get their own mobile PC thingies, and then I can delete all their shite from this one and start again fresh like.
What's the point in sorting it out now, when they are loading some MYPC crap onto it, that it obviously doesn't like like, and visting the Habbo Hotel...evil bastards....that completely cabbaged it 3 years ago....yes, I caught Growler Jnr visiting it yet again a week ago. Warned him if it happens again he's banned from this thing..... for good.
