Problem changing the wallpaper...

So, every time I open the 'Desktop and Screen Saver' setting under 'System Preferences', it comes up for about a second (sometimes the thumbnails load, sometimes not), freezes, then crashes and I get the "The application System Preferences quit unexpectedly." error. Sooo is there a way to fix it?

  • Probleme changing the value of a variable in movieclip from my scene

    Hello,
    i have a probleme changing the value of a variable in movieclip from my scene. i explain: I have combobox on my scene containing categories, and in the scene i load an xml file containing links to php files that work with the combobox.
    Also on the scene i have a movieclip "filmstrip", inside this movieclip on the first frame i have a script loading the php file selected in the scene . i use a load() function with a variable "theUrl" inside like this : T.load(theUrl);.
    In my scene i want to change the value of "theUrl" inside the movieClip filmstrip. I tried filmstrip.theUrl = url; But it doesnt work
    the xml file
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <slideshow>
    <area title1="10 Last updated" link1="link1.php"/>
    <area title1="special" link1="link2.php"/>
    </slideshow>
    here is the code on my scene:
    var link1:Array = new Array();
    var LINK:String;
    var url:String;
    var whoOn:Number;
    whoOn=0;
    var x:XML = new XML();
    x.ignoreWhite = true;
    x.onLoad = function(success) {
    var photos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
    for (i=0; i<photos.length; i++) {
    _root.link1.push(photos[i].attributes.link1);
    url=link1[whoOn];
    filmstrip.theUrl=url;//<<--HERE
    x.load("category.xml");
    var cbListener:Object = new Object();
    cbListener.change = function(event_obj:Object) {
    trace(select.selectedItem.label);
    if (select.selectedItem.label == "Last updated") {
    whoOn=0;
    } else if (select.selectedItem.label == "Special") {
    whoOn=1;
    url=link1[whoOn];
    filmstrip.theUrl=url; //<<-----HERE  
    select.addEventListener("change",cbListener);
    here is the code inside the movie clip "filmstrip"
    var T:XML = new XML();
    T.ignoreWhite = true;
    T.onLoad = function(xml) {
    etc etc etc }
    T.load(theUrl);    //<<---HERE it still undefined

    YESSSS . Thanks you very much Kglad it wotk i put all in a function inside the filmstrip function Tload(theUrl){etc ect}and in the root i call it like this filmstrip.Tload(theUrl);   and it works

  • [ dwm ] How to change the wallpaper and make windows transparent ?

    How do I change the wallpaper and make windows transparent ( ~ 20% ) ?
    Have been Googl'ing for a while now but still have no clue on how to achieve it

    What terminal do you use? urxvt can set transparency in the Xdefaults file.

    Or, if you don't like fiddling with Xdefaults file, you can simply make urxvt transparent by executing it like "urxvt -tr -sh 20", where the number represents the transparency level. However, this is only pseudo transparency, but I like it better than resource-consuming compositing.
    Will give it a try. I'm not against .Xdefaults - just haven't used it that much and know only the basics ( color schemes )

  • In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

    In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" in the OPTIONS menu from "Music" to "Audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check, the items have reverted back to "Music". What must I do to save it as an "Audiobook"?

    After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold!  I can change the media kind to Audiobook!  So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
    I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

    I just received an Iphone 4 and would like to change the wallpaper to a photo I have on my computer. I have windows XP pro. SP3

    Resize or crop the photo to 960 pixels by 640 pixels, then email it to yourself.  Open the email on your phone, tap the attached photo and choose Save to save it to your camera roll.  You can then select the photo from your camera roll to use as your wallpaper (by going to Settings>Wallpapers & Brightness and tapping the wallpaper shown, if using iOS 7).  The wallpaper on the left in settings is your lock screen background, the image on the right is your home screen wallpaper.

  • I recently changed my wallpaper and when i was on safari the rainbow wheel popped up and i had to restart my computer, now theres no wallpaper it just a grey denim and when i try change the wallpaper only the tool bar changes not the background, help ?

    i recently changed my wallpaper and when i was on safari the rainbow wheel popped up and i had to restart my computer, now theres no wallpaper it just a grey denim and when i try change the wallpaper only the tool bar changes not the background, help ?

    Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column  two drives plus possibly  a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install.   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US  

  • How change the wallpaper/background with a command line ?

    Hi people,
    did someone know how change the wallpaper with a command line ?
    thx a lot

    Hi,
    I think this can be done with PowerShell. We could create a function to set wallpaper:
    Function Set-WallPaper($Value)
     Set-ItemProperty -path 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop\' -name wallpaper -value $value
     rundll32.exe user32.dll, UpdatePerUserSystemParameters
    Open PowerShell; paste the function above in it to make this function work.
    Now, if you want to change some wallpaper, you could type the following text:
    Set-WallPaper -value "the path of you wallpaper"
    If you are interested, I would like to share the following article with you for your reference:

  • NB500 - How to change the wallpaper?

    I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to put a picture on my desktop background out of my pictures. I have Windows 7 starter on my Toshiba NB50.
    I tried to right click on my picture but when I did this it DID NOT give me an option to set as wallpaper. Please help I brought this thing 3 days ago and almost over it.
    Thank you Dann.

    Hi danny,
    Unfortunately Windows 7 Starter doesnt allow you to change the wallpaper. This is a Windows limitation on Windows 7 Starter Edition. The wallpaper can only be changed on Windows 7 Home Basic or higher versions.

  • How do i change the wallpap

    I have a zen v plus and I am new to the whole mp3 player thing. I have had it for about two or three months and I have not been able to change the wallpaper. I want to set it to a picture of my own or just something else ,other than the one it came with. Can someone tell me how to change the wallpaper on my zen v plus. Your help will be much appreciated. Merry Christmas! Shannon

    Dear Shannon??To change the wallpaper, just?upload some pics to the player. Once they?re in their right directory, just browse (in the player) to them and when showing the one you want to set as the wallpaper, press and hold the RETURN/BACK button (the one under the PLAY/PAUSE) till a little menu shows up. On the menu screen, click "set as background" and voil?, you have your fav pics as the wallpaper. Hope I have helped you. Regards?Diego

  • Changing the wallpaper upon waking from sleep glitches the translucent menu bar.

    Hi.
    This is a minor bug, but it's one that I'd still like to see fixed simply because I'm that picky
    The problem, as the title states, is that I have my desktop background settings set to randomly change to another one of my wallpapers every hour and (I don't believe it does it when it changes while the computer is awake) when I wake my computer from sleep, during which time an hour has passed, the background changes to a different wallpaper, but the translucent menu bar still shows the top of the wallpaper that was just up.
    My machine is a 2011 iMac. Thanks!

    If it's an encrypted network one thing that can work, try this, please ignore the exact symptoms and connection and Hardware types, it's worked for many others than the stated...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
    Otherwise you might use one of these two lines in Terminal to try to re-establish the connection after sleep...
    sudo ipconfig set en1 BOOTP;sudo ipconfig set en1 DHCP
    sudo ifconfig en1 down;sudo ifconfig en1 up

  • Problem, change the language with dynamic text

    I am looking for a way to change simply the language of my flash animation
    I work with flash cs4
    of course I got Mylocale.as:
    import mx.lang.Locale;
    class MyLocale extends mx.lang.Locale {
    static function start():Void {  
    var langCode:String = xmlLang;
    currentXMLMapIndex = 0;
    xmlDoc.load(xmlMap[langCode][0]);
    static function setXMLLang(langCode:String):Void {
    xmlLang = langCode;
    and different xml files in the same folder than my swf file
    in string , I ticked : "replace  strings automatically during the execution"
      with a default language (I am wondering if the problem is not from there)
      if I tick: "replace strings manually using the scene language " or "replace strings via actionscript"
    my code does not work.
      then I kept: "replace strings automatically during the execution"
    in my flash animation I have several scenes (pages)
    p1, p2, p3, p4
    in p1
    I created a language bar
    then 2 layers inside
    Layer--action:
    langListener = new Object();
    langListener.change = function(eventObj) {
    var target = eventObj.target;
    var newLang = target.selectedItem.data;
    MyLocale.setXMLLang(newLang);
    MyLocale.start();
    lang_cb.addEventListener("change", langListener);
    // Force Japanese
    lang_cb.selectedIndex = 1;
    lang_cb.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
    Layer--language ex Fr:
    // Forces combobox to have the correct value
    on (release) {
    var component = _parent.lang_cb;
    for (var i=0; i< component.length; i++) {
    var item = component.getItemAt(i);
    if (item.data == "fr") {
    component.setSelectedIndex(i);
    component.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
    break;
    ex Ja :
    // Forces combobox to have the correct value
    on (release) {
    var component = _parent.lang_cb;
    for (var i=0; i< component.length; i++) {
    var item = component.getItemAt(i);
    if (item.data == "ja") {
    component.setSelectedIndex(i);
    component.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
    break;
    When I change the language in p1 , the language is also modified in p2, p3 and p4
    however , after a navigation in p2, p3 and p4 , once I come back in p1 , the default language is back automatically although I did not touch the language bar!!
    I don't know how to solve the problem
    to my mind , the script reset itself each time I come back on p1
    is there a way to keep the saved settings even when I am back on p1 until I modify manually again the language bar
    thanks a lot

  • Problem changing the database in runtime

    We use Crystalreports 10 and CrystalReports 11 using the TCRPE Delphi-VCL-Components (Delphi 2007)
    I have the following problem:
    We provide several database-servers: oracle, Mssql and Postgres. We connect to the database via odbc.
    We prepared some standard-reports for our customers.
    Saving them with CR10 or higher the database schema, database name and in some cases the username is stored in the reports.
    To use the report on an other system it must be saved with the new connecteion. Is there any way to change the connection with the TCRPE-Components?
