It's Alive!!!

And it's online, too! I have a working computer. For real. We only had to buy a new video card, blessedly, like we'd expected. And amazingly, it was actually a PCI Express and not an AGP like we'd originally expected. So yay! I'm online. I have a working computer that works way better than my old one ever did. And even with hundreds of

Get a wallpaper changer program so it suffles through the wallpapers at a set time. IE: Every five minutes your wallpaper changes.

[dependonyou]

Oooh, I definitely may do that. Though I do want to just find more wallpapers I like, because it appears I actually don't have all that many when you get right down to it. XD Any particular wallpaper changer you recommend?

[moradoshinigami]

I'll get Patti to send it to you when we get home. (We're at her 'rents right now doing laundry, hence why I'm actually on lj, lol) It's simple. Make a folder, throw all your wallpapers in there and go through the setup. Just read the "read me" file.

[dependonyou]

Much thanks! I appreciate it. I've never used one before, so I've got no clue where to look for them, though I've heard good things. I wonder if it'll let me have more than one folder for it to pull from, though. I'm Super!Virgo and sort everything by series/etc, and sometimes even by character if I have enough and know the series.

Your monitor could need to be de-gauzzed. There may be a special button that just de-gauzzes other wise you might have to go into the Windows settings and run it.

If the program Steph is talking about is the one I used to have before the computer died it's called Windows Media Winter Wallpaper Changer or something like that. It could do certain wallpapers on certain days or just run through everything in the certain folder at as short an interval of 15 minutes or longer depending on what you set. I haven't been able to find that one again yet but I haven't really looked. It came from Window's site itself and it's an XP thing that's all I remember right now.

[dependonyou]

De-gauzzed? I don't think there's a special button for it, since I totally went through all the different features on the menu of the monitor and that didn't help much. Any advice on how I would do it using Windows, or will I just have to fool with Windows until I find it? ::clings::

It definitely sounds nifty, even with the limitation of it only being able to use one folder. XD And I'm currently running XP (legit for a change, woo!) so that'll definitely work for me.

http://www.wikihow.com/Degauss-a-Computer-Monitor might help; every computer I've ever had it's been different on how to do it.

[dependonyou]

Kkies, figured out how to do it. Apparently my monitor auto degausses, but I made it degauss again anyway. It doesn't really seemed to have helped. Thanks for the info, though. <3

Yay!! Working Computer!!! XD XD

I have so many wallpapers it's not even funny, but then I also use random images as wallpaper too... I just change mine daily.

[dependonyou]

Got any good BSSM/PGSM/Sera Myu ones? My collection is seriously lacking. ;op And yay working computer! It means that at bare minimum, I can post on weekends pretty frequently.

[electricfreight]

Hmm... I'm not sure... I will go have a look to see what I have. ^_^

[dependonyou]

::snuggles!:: No rush or anything. I was just curious, since I can't find any I like right now in my cursory search of the interwebs...

[classical_wolf]

Tell me what you're looking for. I love my Twilight one but I don't remember if you like Twilight.

[dependonyou]

Twilight = love. And honestly, my tastes are crazy and varied. Feel free to tell me what you've got and I'll tell you if I'm interested. <3

[classical_wolf]

This wonderful one is my background, but I found many luscious ones here :)

here are some HP ones :)

[dependonyou]

::downloads that first one, and starts flitting through the rest::

[dependonyou]

Ooooh! ::starts downloading:: I can totally put up my collection if you'd like to snag some? I have... more series than I think I've even seen. Don't even remember where I got most of them. XD

[dependonyou]

If nothing else, I don't have anything from Chi's Sweet Home yet. XD Any series in particular you're interested in?
