Walking me down memory lane.
I recently got a Dell Inspiron 7500 from my Daughter that she had bought at a city auction. It had no OS on it and I was able to install Win98SE.
It is rather tiny, buy today’s standards HD 12GB 128 Memory, so I doubt if it would support XP. I can run with what we got now, but I would like to put some pictures in and be able to make wallpaper & screen savers from them. I can’t remember how. Maybe XP was good for something huh? Can someone help? Thank You |

start > settings > control panel > display > backgound and screensaver tabs
but these may be different as display drivers also include some changes in the display window. |

Introducing my pictures into the mix
That would be the same as in XP. My problem is to get a folder like (MY Pictures) in the documents that it will see when I take the path you suggested.
Then I would just click on them. Also I don’t see the option when viewing a picture, to set as desktop background. Thanks |

You should be able to browse to a pic with Paint or IE and set it as a background.

So far as wallpaper, it is on the wallpaper page, settings, and pick the directory you wish to be able to get the picture from. It allows one at a time. Or explore for the picture, click it , then right click and choose it as wallpaper.

I got-er-done
It did not work in Paint. But by going to Windows Explorer and doing it the way edfair suggested made it happen.
Thanks guys, as always you are a big help to us. |

2000 doesn't run well at all on 128mb ram either. It would cost $100 to max it out at 512mb.
