Missing Desktop Background Slide Show option.....
I'm not sure exactly where this belongs in this forum. If I'm in the wrong place, will someone please point me in the proper direction?
I've just installed Win 7 Enterprise on a former Win 8.1 system. It a Sony Vaio with a Core I7 processor and 8gb of RAM.
It was a clean install (formatted, re-partitioned drive, etc.). Nothing appeared wrong during the installation process and all applications installed properly.
I like to use recent travel pictures as an auto-changing background. I've been doing it for years without a hitch. Now there seems to be a hitch.
On any of my other boxes, if Right Click on the screen, select "Personalize", then "Desktop Background", and then look in the "Picture Location" drop-down, I have a choice of "Windows Desktop Backgrounds", "Picture Library", "Top Rated Photos", "Solid Colors", and any other picture paths I may have earlier selected. I can also "Browse" to yet another picture directory, and select that instead.
On this new installation, I only see "Windows Desktop Backgrounds" and "Solid Colors"! While I CAN browse to other directories, I'm unable to get them to stick.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it might have something to do with "Libraries", but I'm out of my depth there.
Has anyone any ideas that might help me solve this problem? I'd appreciate any and all available help.
Thanks.
