...can somebody please help me!!!???

Every time I want to change my desktop wallpaper (I go in *my Pictures*) and then all of a sudden my explorer.exe crashes (the mouse shows me some kind of backround activity before the crash) - it disappears for a few seconds and then it starts up again!!

I already closed my widgets, rainy and OD, but it still happens!!!

Does anybody have an idea what is wrong???!!!!

You need to run those programs after you install them Luv...just having them on the computer won't help you much..

I am really no expert in this, but maybe its one of those strange "Active Desktop" errors?

To turn off Active Desktop in XP:

1. Open Display Properties.
2. Click the Desktop tab.
3. Click the Customize Desktop button.
4. Click the Web tab in the Desktop Items window.
5. Clear any entries from the list (if any)

YOU HAVE SOMETHING BAD:
virus
malware...
you can make a virus control in line without have one...
the last solution is to reinstall your system but you can repair only with XP

Copy 'n paste into START/RUN

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

If you have any other graphic programs exclude them from being your default viewer.

Click on the Start Menu > on the right panel click on Run > in the box that comes up type in regsvr32 shimgvw.dll and then hit OK

If you open any other graphics program go to it's options/configuration menu and see if it has a section on "File Types" or "File Format Associations" uncheck them from handling jpg, png, bmp etc.

As an example I have Paintshop Pro X, the steps would be..... File Menu > Preferences > File Format Associations > uncheck those I want to use the Viewer with........

c242, danke Dir!!!!!!

Ich tu mich echt manchmal etwas schwer mit dem *PC-Englisch*!!!! Hab ganz schön kämpfen müssen mit meinem Problemchen mit der exe, hoffentlich wars das auch, bis jetzt hats gehalten und es ist nichts abgestürzt!!!

Hoffentlich hab ich die *installiererei* auch richtig gemacht ???!!!- Bin auf Ausführen, habs eingefügt und o.k. gedrückt, habs dann vom Laufwerk kopiert und in den Autostart eingefügt mit /s hintendran damit es automatisch startet und ich beim Neustart nicht immer o.k. drücken muss!

Ganz lieben Dank nochmal, bin echt froh über jede Hilfe die ich kriegen kann, denn alles weis ich auch nicht und teilweise steh ich ganz schön auf der Leitung !!!

ja, das Computer-Englisch ist manchmal ganz schön anstrengend. da ich aber auch englische Systeme betreue, isses für mich einfach. Aber da heisst ja vieles auch anders als die wortwortliche Übersetzung wäre

Because I had this problem not all the time - it started a few month ago and before everything was fine, I can`t remember me doning anything wrong, it just happend from one second to the other!

Well, I just would like to understand what the deal was!!!  
So, it would be realy nice if somebody could explain this to me!

Thank you!!!!
