My problem is that when I select 'Maureen2' as my theme, it will cycle through a few of the individual images, but then it defaults to some unknown theme that appears in the 'My Themes' category with no name just identified as 'Unsaved Theme'. My current theme is called 'Maureen2' and appears in the 'My Themes' area of the personalization screen.Д¦. Being a person who likes my own pictures better than the ones provided by Microsoft, I created my own theme, consisting of multiple jpeg images. Again, I would be happy to send you a picture if that will help to 'enlighten' you.ДҐ. This is where I could pick ONE image for my desktop background, if I wanted to look at the same picture all the time. At the bottom of the screen, instead of picking a theme, individual choices are provided for 'Desktop Background', 'Window Color', 'Sounds', and 'Screen Saver'. There is also the option to create your own themes and save them in the 'My Themes' category. Hence, the images (not the 'theme') change so you don't have to look at the same one all the time.ДЈ.

Later (and closes a bit earlier) in the process than the original desktop. Active Desktop, however, actually loads a bit When you have a wallpaper set, but not Active Desktop, you only have the one Any help with this problem would be appreciated. I also don't completely understand your discussion of 'Active Desktop'.

My chosen theme has nothing but jpeg images, so that is not the problem. They are not any of the themes under the 'Aero' choice of themes provided by Windows. This is driving me crazy, as I don't know where these backgrounds/themes are coming from. When my system came up, my background first showed the one I want, but with the next change, it went back to the unwanted theme and when I went into the Desktop Personalize menu, there it was again as unsaved. I did follow your advice to save the unwanted theme, delete it, then reboot. When I click on this to go to my choices for backgrounds, I still don't see the choice of 'None'.
