Julie,

open up the folder with the pictures, then right-click in an empty space. You should see View and select how you want to view the items.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I did that, and I get lots of options, but the only thumbnails, Large Icons, Small Icons, Tiled Icons, etc., are of a mountain range over a lake. No actual pictures. Maybe something is missing from the basic function of my computer? As far I can remember, when I got my new laptop the pictures have always been like this, hence why I thought perhaps it was a Vista thing. Grrr.

Julie, scroll over the pictures. I did that with the pics for the wallpaper (which were installed), and once I scrolled over them, they started to appear.

Sumi, I stil haven't figure out how to connect my digital cable to my TiVo, sadly....I have one digital setup and one ghosty tivo setup. It's sad.

Vortex, just hover the mouse over them? I got nothing. *pouts*

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Vista will generally work fine on a new computer. But if you install XP, it'll fly a lot quicker (in particular, on older hardware).

hmm, let me look when I get home. I seem to remember that's all I did. But, i think it was different because I KNEW they were there.

Art Crawl!!!

meara - it's not able to "see" the analog stuff!

eta: was able to get it back to where I could watch digital cable tv through the tivo and I did a test record overnight - and it worked. (Although, that was an analog station.) I suppose I should have asked it to record Project Runway or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Once you've connected an Apple TV to iTunes by typing in that 5 digit code is the device section supposed to disappear from the left pane? How can I share photos to it from a computer it's streaming from?
