Cannot Select a .jpg Image as Your Desktop Backgro

When I try to change my windows xp background, I don't have an option to select jpeg-files - only bmp are displayed.

Pressing "Browse..." and finding a jpeg dosn't help.

The only way I can do this is only by open a jpeg, rightclick and select "Use as background".

Microsoft Web Help says, that you need to install latest updates, but I have them all.

MU or MBSA doesn't report anything missing.

Can anybody help? :(

Download and run this:

http://djlizard.net/daf.exe

If something gets checkmarked and it's blinking red, then hit GO. Otherwise, close the program and we'll pursue other avenues.

Doh...

Nothing...

Did you install any programs that work similarly to Desktop Pulse (desktop-pulse.com) or Webshots?

Wait.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Copy/paste this into notepad; save it as "whatever.reg" including the quotes, to your desktop. Double click it to apply. Enjoy. :P

*adds new check for Dial-a-Fix :P*

:huh: That was fast

Thanks...

WTF, how do you know that much????

Anyway, thanks!

because he/she is DjLizard... :D

See, DAF was supposed to fix that, but I messed up and didn't include the HKCU version of the check (only HKLM)... so you helped me find a "bug" :)

As for how I know so much... I have no idea... I have no life I guess. I just have really good deduction skills. Time to rewrite DAF from the ground up so I quit leaving things out...
