XP things in win 7
 

Where do I stop the sleep mode in win 7?
How do you save on-line pictures as the wallpaper? I used to be able to
right click and save as Desktop in XP.
Or is there a site to explains how to do all the stuff we used to be able to
do in XP in windows 7.

Remember I can't Copy & Paste with my mouse, just with hot keys.

Thanks
Jack

Right click on a picture, select "set as background" to turn it into your
wallpaper.

When I right click on a picture there is an option to Set as Desktop
Background... and that's what I select when I want that as my desktop
wallpaper.

I forgot to address the Sleep Mode. You go into the Control Panel and
open the Power Options and then customize the setting within.

I explained in a earlier post nothing happens when I right click on
anything, something didn't install correctly when I installed a full copy of
windows 7 on a newly built desktop PC. I have no Copy & Paste on-line,,,
just in windows desktop.

Instead of trying to figure out how to accomplish tasks with a crippled
system, why don't you re-install the OS?

I'm with Bobby on this. Something is seriously wrong with your system, and I
think I would start by doing a _clean_ install.

So you're still getting your "blue arrow" when you make a selection in IE?
I thought you had found that No Add-ons mode avoided the symptom? So, then
the next step is to find the add-on which when disabled in normal mode also
avoids the symptom.


Good luck

I did the reinstall of Windows 7 and everything worked great Thanks... After
I install the Microsoft updates it went back to not working again. Is there
a way to remove tha updates? Not sure where they are.

Re: XP things in win 7
 

I presume you have installed 64-bit Windows 7 since this is a
microsoft.windows.64bit.general group for discussion of 64-bit Windows
Operating Systems related problems?

It really sounds like you either have a bad driver or actually have a
hardware fault that shows up after (a) specific update(s). I have 3
different mid-towers running Windows 7 64-bit and have never seen
anything like you describe. I also have a netbook and a laptop with Win
7 and there's nothing like your problem on either of them either.

You may have a system board that isn't Windows 7 compatible because of
outdated hardware and/or BIOS.
