this picture was probably downloaded from the grandkids using the cpu, or taken off one of their games. we are using a HP Pavilion mx70, we bought used and no books came with it. we are able to change the screen saver picture to different pictures, but we are not able to figure out how to get rid of this picture. if we click on the side of the picture we can drag it to the side and the picture apprears to be narrower, but nothing we have attempted will remove it.
