Hi,

When I view a image in Internet Explorer and right click on it and select
Set As Background I get a error message saying Invalid Argument. But if I
download the file, and put it in a folder with the album setting and right
click on it and select Set As Desktop Background it works. Its kinda anoying
since I like to use the Internet Explorer way to set my backgrounds.

Anyone know a fix?
Thanks,
Wolf

I am also having this problem and the provided fix is not solving it.

Any other ideas?
