Issues with desktop background slideshow
So far, I've tried creating a desktop background slideshow on this laptop to no avail. After selecting all the photos and clicking "save changes" the desktop changes to a random image from the list and acts as if I only selected 1 image for the desktop background.
So, I tried creating a .themepack on another windows 7 system with the same images, etc. I copied it onto a flash drive and copied it back onto this system and applied the theme pack. Same thing happens, themepack remains saved, but the effect's are transferred to the "Unsaved Theme" and only have 1 image for desktop background.
Slideshow is on under power settings so I don't know where to go from here.
Help? | My System Specs |

Help? Make sure each of the photos is checked, and you click save changes. Make sure the slideshow is selected as well | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP dv7
