WinXP GPO Wallpaper Issue

Hi there, we are currently encountering an issue with wallpapers in our Windows XP machines. We use Group Policy to enforce a wallpaper on our users and works accross all machines (Win XP, Vista and 7) on our "Group 1" Group Policy, however on
our "group 2" policy we have (more restricted policy for some users) we just get a blue desktop on Windows XP
How it appears in XP
Hopefully someone can help?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
Check the below settings on group policy,
- Check the setting "Enable Active Desktop" is set to Enable.
The setting will be available on below path,
User Configuation -> Policies -> Administative Templates ->Desktop ->Active Desktop.
- Check the setting Desktop Wallpaer Style is set to "Stretch".
The setting will be available on below path,
User Configuation -> Policies -> Administative Templates ->Desktop -> Desktop.
After enabling the above settings reboot the xp machine and check whether the wallpaper is displayed.
Checkout the below thread on similar discussion,

Annoying desktop wallpaper issues

Lately i'm having issues with my wallpaper on my macbookpro. The state of my wallpaper now is white, just white nothing else. I try and apply a new image but it doesnt seem to do anything. Whenever i reboot my mbp, my old wallpaper images displays for a couple of seconds until osx is fully loaded but then goes back to white. I use a secondry monitor as well, but it displays images, just not the screen on my mbp. The mmp works perfecly, nothing else wrong with it (touch wood) just this really annoying desktop wallpaper issue!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Ok it seems to of been a wee app called instantshot that was the culprit.

Wallpaper issues under openbox

I know how to set the wallpaper (in a number of ways, even). That's not the issue.
I'm running Arch under VirtualBox, with the guest additions installed. This allows magically setting the resolution when I change the size of the virtual screen. Unfortunately, this does not update my wallpaper's aspect ratio, so the wallpaper tiles rather than zooming to fit. How do I fix this?
For reference, I'm setting my wallpaper with
feh --bg-max ~/wallpaper-377161.jpg
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, and thanks in advance.

Hi guys, this is my first post here so be nice!
I've been agonising over this small detail for a few days now, whilst trivial I NEED feh to reapply my wallpaper when I resize my VB window - as Deltadesu mentions above feh applies the wallpaper based on the 'current' screen size, so any resolution > than the current resolution, the wallpaper tiles.
I have read about calling feh from VBoxRandR.sh - but as this doesnt exist any longer I'm stuck!
Cheers in advance :]

When will wallpaper issue on ios7 be fixed

Having difficulty using photos for wallpaper...won't resize or scale.....please address this issue. thank you.

Unfortunately no one here knows for sure, when/if there will be a fix, or if Apple even considers it an issue.
If you go in through the photos app and send your image to be wallpaper you will have a bit more control than if you go in through the wallpaper part of the settings.

Iphone wallpaper issue

GPO Admx Issue

Afternoon All,
I am having an issue at the moment, I downloaded the ADMX templates for Office 2013 onto my work server 2008r2
I placed them in the central store (c:windows)
However when I try to add the templates via GPO it wont recognise the admx files they just dont show
I understand when you place them in the central store they should automatically show
however they dont
any ideas?

> I placed them in the central store (c:windows)
This is NOT the central store...

Ipod + Winxp MCE Docking Issues(using Altec lansing Inmotion speakers)

hi:
im new to this kind of things(posting in forums) i like to share an issue and some stuff that help me out to solve them, and ofcourse a part that is not solved. here it comes.
i buyed and ipod clickwheel a year ago 40gb model(im not sure of what generation it is), it was working fine with my G5 i use a Inmotion speaker system(not im500 or im7 just a plain inmotion) and while i used the firewire cable with,it give me no trouble, recently i stop using my G5 for handling the ipod and switched to a brand new pc i brought it has Windows XP MCE (2002 SP2+up to date fixes) there is when all my troubles began, first it was amazingly hard to configure it, i mean the ipod was in HFS(MAC native file system) i will list down the issues and how i solved them in order.
1.- windows was unable to recognize it, i got an error message about "windows cant recognize the USB device".
Solution: after various attemps i decided to plug it without the Inmotion speaker system and yes it worked, windows did recongnize it
2.- after that i tried the restore option from "ipod for windows 2.0" and i got the folder and exclamation logo on the ipod, after the restoration process began and say that i have to unplug it and let the firmware flash occurs (i unplugged it ) i got the folder and exclamtion icon on the screen.
Solution: i tried the Mac/Ipod updater 2006-06-28 and it worked fine, i got the message to unplug the ipod for a firmware flash( after checking battery was full charged) and with that software it worked fine it finished and windows was able to see it,FAT32 SYTEM FILE.
3.-THE UNSOLVED PROBLEM: i been trying to break my head open why when i use the Inmotion speaker system as a bridge between the ipod and the PC( using a USB 2.0)
windows is not able to recognize it it says "windows cant recognize the USB device"(or something like it) other curious stuff is that i tried to plug it to an older PC i have i believe and Intel D850 motherboard P4/1.7Ghz that is able to see/detect the IPOD even when i plug it using the Inmotion speaker system, it says something like" USB device of high speed detected, it will work with decreased speed" but still it is able to SEE IT, while my brand new PC cant, i tried another P4/2.4Ghz and it cant detect the device(using the Inmotion speaker system). Why do i seek any words of wisdom, because those 2 speaker where very expensive here(im in bolivia right now) and i want to break them to bits, i use the inmotion as my charger station and i tend to play my songs from there it was practical i shouldn´t have buyed a 150$ bucks gadget if it wanst.
HELP: i will apreciate any help that all you may provide, i hope that all the steps above helps anyone that might have some related issues and dont use a expensive spekaer system as bridge. , and yes i will like to solve it, after all those 2 little speaker really sound great.
PD: i have tried plug it other USB 2.0 ports i have, i even tried to make it work iwthout the DC power( Inmotion speaker system,not Inmotion plus or IM5 just a plain Inmotion) cable plugged if anyone have a similar issue and need more details please let me know, and my most sincere apoligies for my english,to say the truth is not my native languaje and thanks in advance for any help.

User GPO policy issues - 2012R2

hello all
i have a number of terminal 2012r2 terminal servers with XenApp 7.5 installed. policy setting are applied using loopback/replace as normal. machine settings apply consistently but sometimes ALL the user settings fail to apply ?.
wondered if there are any 2012 patches that might address this ?. also what is the best way to log gpo processing with 2012r2 ?
thanks

Hi Dave,
>>policy setting are applied using loopback/replace as normal. machine settings apply consistently but sometimes ALL the user settings fail to apply ?.
Before going further, for we are using Loopback processing Replace mode, the user policies defined in the computer's Group Policy objects replace the user policies normally applied to the user. Here, we can follow the following steps to collect group
policy result report for specific user on specific computer for troubleshooting.
1. On domain controller, click Start -> Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
2. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please place appropriately). (Choose computer and select
the proper user in the wizard)
3. Right click the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML file.

GPO Policy - Issue

I am little frustrated when posting this question.
What I have seen some GPO settings only apply when a computer is restarted.
Can someone please elaborate on this behavior?

Did you by chance disable background processing?
Or set it to a really long interval?

WinXP PRO install issue with SATA RAID floppy on P45D3

Hello,
My objective is to set up 2 RAID volumes (one in RAID0 + one in RAID1) using Intel RAID Matrix Manager.
After having enabled RAID mode on BIOS, created the 2 RAID volumes and pressed F6 at the beginning of WinXP PRO installation without any problem, I am stuck when one file from Intel SATA RAID driver floppy needs to be written on the disk.
The problem appears after having confirmed the partition I want to install WinXP on. I got the following message:
"Cannot write iaStor.sys" . And I have to cancel the installation.
I do not know where this file has to be written ... Additionally, this file was perfectly read (and written somewhere) just after having pressed "S" and provided the floppy during the first phase of WinXP installation.
Any suggestion to help me ?
Thanks
My config (partial):
- P45 D3 Platinum with E8500 Dual Core
- 2G DDR3
- 2x 500G SATA2 HDD

Quote from: didierpilon
How did you solved this ?
I Googled and found this page which was very useful (the blue text is a link; you can click on it).
In fact I already knew how to do it using nLite (which I normally use), but now I tried their F6 floppy advice for educational purposes and that worked as well!
Key is that the files have to be present twice, on different locations on the floppy...

Having some Desktop wallpaper issues.

Hi, I am having trouble getting the result from a wallpaper program that I want, and was hoping you guys could help me find a good one.
I have tried every program on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … er_setters and could not find one that meets my needs.
I would like to have a different wallpaper for every workspace in Xfce. I recently converted from Manjaro, and the Xfce desktop settings had better wallpaper setting functionality, but the version I installed in Arch does not have these features.
Thanks for your help

Desktop Wallpaper Issues

The upgrade to SL went smoothly. One minor issue is that the custom wall paper that I choose under system prefrences always reverts back to a blue screen. Anyone else having this issue?

Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.

Wallpaper issues

I noticed odd problem with me mac. I have own wallpaper on the desktop. When I login I see mac default wallpaper (changes around the default wallpaper set) and then it turns to my custom wallpaper. Could there be like 2 wallpapers on top of each others and that way eat resources? How can i change the wallpaper so that it would not show the default pictures at all?

*wup!* solutions please?
This only occurs when i am having myself logged in and put on that secondary user login window... this doesnt occur when screen saver asks for password or initial login.. only when that "box turns"

N96 Wallpaper issues

Since receiving my N96 i have been experiencing problems with the Wallpaper changing back to the Nokia default randomly.
This normally happens when i have removed the phone from my pocket.
I reset the wallpaper back to the picture that i require and on occasions i will remove the phone from my pocket and it has changed.
Can anyone help with a solution to the wallpaper not saving permanently??
Thanks

Firstly take the battery out for 5 minutes and then replace and see if that makes any difference.
Then try the "3 finger reset" which is depress these three keys simultaneously "*" "3" "green phone" and then power on phone whilst keeping those same three keys depressed until you hear start-up tone.
if asked for a code its 12345
