When I go to control panel then appearance and themes then change the desktop background it will not let me do it. I can still choose a screensaver but it will not let me choose a background. What is wrong with it?? It will not even let me click on it but it will let me do a screensaver.

Hi Kaitlyn,
I presume you are using Windows XP operating system, because you mentioned changing Appearance & Themes. Rather than navigating through the Start > Control Panel steps, just find an area on your screen where there is no program icon... in other words, a blank area on your desktop, and right-click your mouse there. When the pop-up menu arrives, click on Properties. A window will appear that says "Display Properties" and then you will see a series of tabs. One of those tabs is labeled "Desktop". Click on that tab and you will see a list of available choices from which to pick your desktop graphic. If you want to use another picture or graphic file that is on your computer, you can use the Browse button located on the Display Properties tab. Pick from the list, or use the Browse feature to find the graphic, and that should work. If you are using a Desktop Theme, or a screen saver, you should still be able to use a custom graphic on your desktop as the background.

I'm not sure your calculation is correct, but it doesn't really matter - if your computer is randomly shutting off, then either some setting in the game is causing it (so you need to change it back), or the problem really isn't related to the game at all, and you just think it is, because it started happening around the same time you changed the settings in the game. So... does this problem *only* happen when you are playing the game but never at at other times? (It may be hard to answer this question if you are basically only playing that game when you're using the laptop). If it only happens during the game, and you are also using the laptop a lot for non-game stuff, then I would check other things, like: did you install or update any other software or Windows or drivers or hardware around the same you changed the game settings?
