Working on friends laptop and she would like some TinkerBell wallpaper. I've tried changing the theme tab under properties to WindowsXP and then doing the wallpaper but that doesn't work. It will not even change to what WindowsXP already has listed.
How can I get the wallpaper to change, please?

Have tried all the above........nothing. However, through reading about it I found that the computer was infected and has been for over 2 years. I just did a reinstall of Windows and everything is fine now.
Broni the #142 comes up as a 404.
Thanks for the help....:)
