Just go back to image shack and upload it again, but where it says "Change Resolution?" select the size you want, or just say No. It's just that simple. :p

I just noticed the torrent seems to be dead.

i'll try again, maybe it was human error, even though I'm not human.

If not, I'll just put it on a service like megaupload

hang on...

I figured out what happened. The file size is over the 3MB limit. so petty. Let me find somewhere else...
 
Why the hell is it over 3 megs? Should be like 600kb.
 
Alternatively

damn.



I didn't want to sign up to anything. Pesh I wish you would post your wallpaper, I want to set that for my desktop
 
You don't have to sign up for anything. Imageshack.us doesn't resize images it doesn't have to- you tried uploading an XBOX HUEG .bmp file (the least compressed imagetype evar) so it resized it to meet the limit (1.53mb)

I simply saved it as a .jpg and all was better. Also

Pesh, thanks for the paper.


I couldn't set Cosmic Petals wallpaper as JPG so I tried PNG and still didn't work, so that's why I wanted to leave it as BMP - also so it wasn't compressed, but now I see this

(problem)
Only JPEG files installed by default with Windows can be
set, no way for any other.

In the right-pane, delete the NoActiveDesktop value if exists.

What program are you using to save them? You can't just change the filetype extension by renaming it...

lol no I know

I used a photo editor to save as JPG/PNG


When I right click a JPG on the internet I have the option of setting it to the background, and I've just learned that windows will convert the JPG to BMP first.

problem is that I can't do it from Display in the control panel.


I usually just used a grey desktop because I get sick of pictures really fast. It's been so long since I had a background so I couldn't remember if I ever had JPG's on my desktop or not.

Its np, I've found there are several ways to get it to work. thanks for everything
 
That female TF2 pic is awesome! (The one Gorgon posted not Kyo's weirdness)
 
Is it just me or does that model of him look really bad?
 
He looks like a....well, doll. His hand is made of rubber!!
 
Meh, thought I might as well change my laptop one:

It's harder than it should be to find proper widescreen desktops so I don't change it much...
