Desktop saver? you mean saving a picture as a desktop background?
All you should need to do is right click on the picture in your "pictures" folder in my documents then select "set as desktop background"

Go into control panel, then display propertties, then desktop, click on browse at the bottom and choose your picture, unless it's something to with Arsenal in which case fair play to your computer to say "fook orf"

Thats just another way of doing it, if one way doesnt work then i would think the other ways wouldnt work either.

Im thinking also what is the file type of said picture? it might be rejecting that or something thats why i said try other pics
