    Cannot set wallpaper as background -- help!

    Hello all,
    For some reason, I cannt "Set as background" wallpaper when I goto websites. I have to download the wallpaper and then set it. I used to just be able to right click and set it as my background.

    When I try to do this, this error comes up
    "Invalid Argument."


    Any help would be appreciated to see if there is a fix for this.

    Thanks!

    i dont know, I had the same problem in IE, but it worked just fine in Firefox. i'd think a setting in IE got switched up somehow, but I cant think of which one off the top of my head...

    He wasn't there again today; I wish I wish he'd go away.

    i think what neo meant is, could you specify a particular picture on that page that gives you this error. he missed your earlier post:
    quote:any wallpaper on that website. click on any chick, and then I click on 1024x768 and when I try and set it, that error comes up.

    I think that you should get the latest Sp update which would be Sp2.
