That's a set of wallpapers that is specifically meant to switch up every few minutes. If you want to use just one image, you probably need to track that image down, and set is as your background manually. I'm not on my Ubuntu box at the moment -- does anybody know where on the disk those images are stored, so that we can give Larry some pointers on finding them, and using just the one he wants? ~PeteVG " ... the original aphorism being 'In comparison with the ancients, we stand like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants.' The image was a commonplace by the time Newton used it, his one contribution being to erase any sense that he himself might be a dwarf." ~ Lewis Hyde </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">*Hello Lewis, Nope I am not using the collection of NASA space images, but I do not know actually where I got them from, or where they are, for I looked in my home directory, in the wallpaper images that I have and none show what is being showed on the main screen... So I am at a lost to figure out where they are coming from, also when I go to system>preference> Appearance, they are not even in that group either... So how will I or how can I find out where they are located, and how to turn off that feature...??? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Go to System, Preferences, Appearance and select the Background tab. One of the images should be highlighted. Hover over it and it will show you the name and where it is. As an alternative thought you are not talking about a screensaver are you? Colin </pre> </blockquote> Hello again Colin, No it is did not have anything to do with the screensaver at all...It is now working just fine, since I did post a note sayint that I had found out what the problem was... The time limit was set too 1 min, it is now at 1 hr... Thanks and have a good day...
