| 335030 | 2005-03-17 05:51:00 | Hi. I'm having a few "issues" with the desktop in Windows XP. It's hard to explain, but here are some visual aids XP Default desktop- no blue showing through (www.sal.neoburn.net) My desktop, but there is blue showing (www.sal.neoburn.net) Anybody know how I can remove the blue from my custom desktop? Thanks, Edward :) |

Close ... Control Panel > System > Advanced > Settings button (in performance box > Visual Effects tab> make sure Adjust for best appearance has dot beside it. Apply (or OK) This is what I have anyway :) |

| 335035 | 2005-03-17 10:03:00 | I remember on some WinXP the file type of your wallpaper matters. I cant seem to find which aren't the best to use, but my WinXP seems to play nicely with all, damn :/ If you can, try changing the filetype of your new background to BMP or JPG. |

| 335036 | 2005-03-17 10:24:00 | Is you setting set as Jen pointed out, or if you want all the effects like Myth. This will give you the look you are after. If it dosent I would look at refreshing your video drivers with the origional or updated. |

| 335039 | 2005-03-18 10:50:00 | It is a great way to speed up a slower computer. You select custome, tick the above check box, well.... the last three to keep the XP look, with all the other stuff off you will notice a great improvement. Of course only if your computer was slow to start with. | Rob99 (151) | ||
