Either you right click on it and say "set as background" or you right click on your desktop, go down to preferences, and I think display settings, and there should be an option for setting wallpaper.
If you have Vista, go to your desktop and click your right mouse button. A menu will pop up, and the bottom option is "Personalize". Click that option, and a window will pop up. In the middle of the list, click "Screen Saver" and this will take you to a screen where you can change any of your screen saver options, including disabling it.
You can customize your Windows appearance by following steps..Right click on Desktop and click on PropertiesYou can change you Theme from "Theme" tabYou can change your Desktop Background from "Desktop" tabYou can set or remove Screen Saver from "Screen Saver" tabYou can change the appearance from "Appearance" tabYou can change the Screen Resolution and Color Quality from "Settings" tab

A screen saver is the thing when you turn on your computer and it says internet. BUT the SCREEN SAVER is the thing BEHIND where it says internet. Like the picture.
If you have a Windows XP or any other Windows program, exit out of everything, which leaves you with the desktop screen. Then you RIGHT click on the desktop screen. Go to properties and if you look at the top, there are little tabs that say: Themes Desktop Screen Saver Appearance Settings Well, apparently, the tab that you want to click on is the SCREEN SAVER tab.
a) Start > Control Panel > Display b) right click on desktop, click on 'Properties' can change background picture, screen saver, screen resolution, etc
This is what you do on my laptop: * Right-click and then select Properties from the drop list. * It should come up with a small window saying Display Properties and go along the top and click where it says Screensaver. * It comes up with a page saying Settings, Preview and a drop list of patterns that you can put on it and then preview to see if you like it.
I have the same issue before, but I discovered that once you set your screen saver you have to click the part that says save and it wont change at all.
It prevents the screen from having images burned into it.
It sounds to me like this is the screen saver coming on. When you move or click the mouse the screen saver will go away. If you want to shut off or change the screen saver time out, you can right click on the desktop and select 'properties'. Then select screensaver and here you can change your settings.
It sounds like you have a short time delay for when the screen saver kicks-in. Change the time delay the computer sets between your last activity and starting the screen-saver. In windows 7 - right-click anywhere on your screen (so long as your mouse-pointer is not over an icon) and select personalize. In the dialogue box that appears, left-click on the screen saver icon (bottom-right of the box). You should see the word wait a small box next to it. The number in the box is the length of time the computer waits to start the screen-saver. Use the up and down buttons to change the time interval to a more suitable period. Remember to click apply.
I've found the answer to my problem. The registry needed a file association fix. After using the File Association Fix for Vista from winhelponline.com, it's back as it should be.
