    Default wallpaper question

    Is there a limit to the amount of wallpapaer you can have on your computer? I am trying to install new wallpaper as I get bored looking at the same picture all the time.

    I can install them to C:/windows where they are supposed to go, put when I go to the display area where themes and wallpapers are managed they aren't in there. I have to click on browse and search for them. After I find them that way, they will go to display area but then when I go browse and install another one the first one that I installed disappears from the display area.

    I went to the windows xp help website and they told me to rename them before downloading, I tried that and it didn't work.

    I am also having alot of problems installing desktop themes, half the time they wont install even though they downloaded to the right place.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    I usually just save them to my picture folder then just cright click them and hit use as wall paper.

    Also Webshots is a great place to get them and comes with software that automatically save them to their program, you open it up and take your pick.

    You can right click on any picture on the web and set them as a wallpaper.

    If your having problems with Microsoft Plus, you might want to look on their website for support or give them a call.

    Don't they have free tech support?

    try newsgroups on the subject also.
