Display properties - background pictures not showing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

Please I need help. When I go into display properties and background to
choose a wallpaper, usually you see a preview of the picture in the tiny
computer screen example above that. The jpg pictures are not previewing. The
little screen just stays blank. I read somewhere on here along time ago how
to fix it and did fix it another time. Please help this bugs me silly.

thank you
Denise

>I have no idea if I have active desktop enabled. I had
this problem about a year ago and someone told me what to
do and it fixed it, but I don't remember what it was. I
don't know what TweakUI is either. I was just trying to
preview a picture in another area and it messed up. Can
you please tell me what to do?

Thanks
