Desktop Background - Slide Show - Fast Cycling Issue

I have an issue with my PC since upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1. I have even tried a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and I am still having this issue. Not sure what the problem is and I'm looking for some pointers on how I can troubleshoot it.
What I do is set ANY Windows Theme, or any desktop background set of pictures, with more than one picture. I select the option to shuffle the background with various times from 10 minutes to hourly on when to change the background.
The issue is that 2 or 3 times a day the background starts quickly cycling, at a rate of a new background every second. This last about a minute and then it goes back to normal.
I know one solution would be to select one picture, but I am looking for a solution to get this to work as it should. Could this be a video card issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
It's really strange about this problem. Since a fresh installation can't fix this problem, We should consider the hardware problem or system installation disc problem.
I need to confim that whethter this problem occures as soon as system reinstalled? Did your computer join into domain? If this is Video card driver problem, you need to check Graphic Driver edition firstly, make sure it is compatible with Windows 8.1. What
about uninall Graphic driver and use system build in driver?

  • Full screen background slide show

    Trying to create a full screen background slideshow (workarround).
    But when I create a widget slideshow 1920px pinned to the background everything is working fine until a change some settings.
    Like No counter. Muse then adapt the size of the widget to far more smaller?
    More people this problem?

  • IDVD Slide Show Feature - Audio Issues

    Looked around in this forum and did not see this specific issue.
    I open iDVD, pick a theme, add a slide show, select the pictures out of the media window, and drag them in. Select a play list out of iTunes, and drag it in. Play the show in iDVD, all is wonderful. Burn the disk, put it in the DVD player attached to the TV, and the slideshow plays, but the music hick-ups at every slide transition.
    Any ideas?
    This also happened to me every time I tried to make a slideshow in the previous version of iDVD. I ended up creating the show in iPhoto or iMovie and importing that, but I guess I'd expect that if Apple put a slide show feature in iDVD, that it would actually work...

    +but the music hick-ups at every slide transition.+
    Toshiba DVD player? I've experienced that with those players...
    Does it play OK in your Mac?

  • Making long background slide show

    I have a need for a long background "show". Specifically, 7 CD's worth of mood music (think yoga) with nature shots. Prefer burning to play in DVD player, but realize it maybe too much music for a DVD, so a slide show running with iTunes playlist in background is possible but using laptop is not optimal.
    The challenge is that I only need a few photos (they will repeat) but lots of songs. Is there a way to create a slide show (or movie) several hours long that is playable on DVD player?
    SLYmac

    Thanks so far. I think I am almost there.
    ok so I selected a bunch of photos in iPhoto, clicked "slideshow" and then "send to DVD".
    iDVD opened up and now what? it opened up to a generic project "My Great DVD" which i renamed, but not being a veteran of iLife, I am not sure what is next. Do I add anything? This is a simple background slideshow to put into a DVD player and let it go and go until removed. I did not care for a polished menu structure. In fact I was hoping for a "stick it in the player and auto start" product.

  • Desktop Wallpaper Slide-Show stopped working

    I wanted to use the background slideshowing and it stopped working on my Windows. It's somehow funny, after restart Windows switches the background exactly 1 time. After this first time it doesn't work until I do another restart. I've tried several things to get it working, not loading all applications, using the built-in themes, removing graphics card drivers and much more.
    But this is obviously a bug in Windows itself. (on 2 other PCs with Windows 7 RC it works like a charm).
    Any ideas?
    .

    Deleting the SLIDESHOW.INI file located in:
    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\
    did the trick.  It's a hidden file, so, if you can't see it, you must set your viewer to "Show Hidden Files"
    Thanks for the help!
    Whilst searching for a solution to this problem I tried all the suggestions on this thread. None worked for me but this one, from another forum, did:
    Maybe your TranscodedWallpaper.jpg file has become corrupted.
    Open explorer and type the following in the adress bar and hit Enter:
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\
    Here, rename TranscodedWallpaper.jpg to TranscodedWallpaper.old.
    Next, double-click slideshow.ini file to open it with Notepad. Empty its contents. That is, select all the text and delete it. Save the changes (You'll probably need to remove the read only). Close explorer windows.
    Now try editing your desktop background once more.
    Like I said, this worked for me! Good luck if there's anyone else that needs help with this! :)

  • When viewing some websites my desktop background image shows as the page background...why...and how do I fix this?

    It seems that the current version of Firefox does not understand how to process style sheets. Instead of the stylesheet background color or image, I am now seeing my PC's desktop background image. This does not happen with IE or Chrome. When checking the error console, I get "Warning: Unknown property 'zoom'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://trustserve.net/themes/ModernBlue/templates_cached/EN/global.css Line: 4"
    I am not trying to zoom.
    Any ideas on how to fix this. I can't use Firefox with these problems and I really liked it prior to these problems.

    I thought I had it disabled. I enabled aero and then disabled to be sure, and still have the problem, but that was a very good idea. Thanks.
    The problem started shortly after I installed two new programs, a graphics program, and an anti-virus. I just removed both programs and restarted the computer and that seems to have solved the problem. Your idea about Aero gave me the idea that one, or both of these programs changed some of my system settings. I am now going to install them, one at a time, and see if the transparency problem returns. I'll post my findings.

  • Desktop background shuffle stops working

    Desktop background shuffle stops working after a while. I had the same problem with 7 preview and now with 7 Ultimate RTM 64bit clean install the same issues and I can't figure it out why. If I use the same set of photos on my Mac shuffle works fine.

    Hi Dariusz Stochmal,
    Before moving on, could you please help to clarify the following factors?
    -       Is the issue that the background slide show works, however, the slide show shuffle stops working which displays the background pictures in order?
    -       Could you please let me know when the issue occurs? Does it occur after using certain software, changing some settings or installing something?
    In the meantime, let's try the following suggestions to check the result.
    First, if there is any the Desktop or wallpaper software installed, please remove it.
    Second, please test the issue in Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
    However, if the issue persists, you can also test the issue in a new user account. To do this, please go to Control Panel -> View by: Category -> Add or remove user accounts -> Create a new account. Please see if the issue occurs in this user account. If not, we can transfer the personal files to this account to resolve the issue.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Linda

  • PSE 7 Strips Out Slide Show Music

    I have created a PSE 7 slide show of about 150 pictures.  I have included a music track as background while the slides play.  I full screen preview the slide show and all is good -- I can also save and go out of PSE 7 then go back in and open the slide show and re-preview and all is still good.  I then select to output the slide show to DVD and let PSE and Premier run their standard course to get to a burned DVD.  All is good, no errors, and the process completes ending in a burned DVD.
    Problem is that near the beginning of the process, when PSE 7 creates the .wmv file, it strips out the music track for the slide show.  I know this is where the problem occurs because I have gone in and played the .wmv file in Windows Media Player and the slides are fine but no music.
    I have done the exact same thing with only 6 slides and music is in fact included.  The burned DVD of that small slide show plays fine and with music.
    What is going on???  Does making a slide show with 150 pictures push the limits of what PSE 7 can handle, even though I get no error messages???
    Thanks!

    PSE slide show has some issues with high resolution images. Please reduce the size of the image 1000 x 700 and create/burn DVD.

  • PSE 9 Organizer error codec trying to add an Elements audio file to slide show

    I am using PSE 9 to build a slide show. When I add audio, I can use mp3's  from my music library in the slide show without any issues ...
    but I am getting the following error when I try to add an Elements audio file (example " A _Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)
    This is the Organizer error message:
    "Unable to add the audio file (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\8.0\Music\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3).
    The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser(codec) installed."
    I had PSE 8 and upgraded to PSE 9 - I noticed the error file detail shows 8.0 - Is this my problem - maybe an incomplete upgrade ?  (I've made several slideshows mixing photos and music, on an older computer using PSE 8 and never ran into this issue.)
    Below is my system info in case that helps:
    OS=Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an HP Pavillion dv7
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-430M Dual Core processor (2.26GHz, 3MB L2 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz

    Does that file extension really have a space in it?  If so, remove the space.

  • Using FCE to improve an iPhoto slide show exported DV file

    Hello everyone
    I was looking for a quick good way to create a slide show easily, without manually adding various transitions, panning etc....
    Well, iPhoto makes a great slide show, fast n easy music and all.
    I've exported a Slide Show as a 'Large Sized DV File'.
    Only problem, as everyone knows, the iPhoto Slide Shows look great on a high resolution computer screen, but when using the exported DV file on a DVD, it's not as good.
    I have found however, that re-importing it into FCE, rendering it, and re-exporting it, produces better results when this DV File is used on the DVD.
    Anyone have any comments about this?
    Thanx
    Mike

  • On Windows Server 2012 R2 the "Show my desktop background on Start" is grayed out

    Hi
    As shown below, the new 8.1/2012R2 function "Show my desktop background on Start" is not available on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    I have tried multiple solutions:
    - Activate OS (In Win 8.1 - the feature is unavailable when Win8.1 is not activated)
    - Install Desktop Experience
    - Playing with the registry key "Subkey: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent Entry:
    MotionAccentId_v1.00
    But no luck. Does anyone have a solution.
    The reason why I need this is, that I am building a Remote Desktop solution, and here we want to give users the same experience as from their desktops.
    Looking forward to some exciting feedback.

  • Wallpaper not showing up in "Change Desktop Background" window

    I just noticed an odd issue today on my Mac Pro. When browsing the built-in wallpaper folders (Nature, Plants, etc) in the Change Desktop Background window they are empty. My "Pictures Folder" one shows all the images correctly as well as browsing the ones from iPhoto. (I also have Aperture 2.1.2 installed but no projects yet so that part is empty.)
    I performed a permissions repair, checked that the actual files were there in /Library and removed the com.apple.desktop.plist pref's file. After doing that all the pictures showed up again UNTIL I browsed around the picture folders in the Change Desktop Background window then they stopped showing again.
    Could something in my Pictures Folder be causing the issue? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    -Jim

    Thanks for clarifying. I don't do right or left click, but occasionally do CONTROL-click and doing that brings up the contextual menu item "change desktop background" which leads to the Desktop prefPane. Now, why you're having issues, I have no idea. However, I suggest creating a new admin user account, logging into it, and seeing if changing the desktop picture works there.

  • FCS showing desktop background images

    I recently purchased and installed FCS, I'm running into an issue where the timeline, viewer, browser, and etc are showing the desktop background and cannot figure out what's going on.

    If you have ShapeShifter installed, uninstall it and the problem should go away.
