i personally don't like active desktop.
convert the photo to .bmp to avoid using active desktop.

if you have MS Office, you can use photo editor to save as .bmp

A background (wallpaper) is a static display, which means a photo file
cannot be used as a *Screen Saver, which moves about and has a 'scr' or
'exe' extension.
