  2. Right click the image and select 'Set as Background'. 
  3. If you have difficulty check your Display Properties settings. (These settings are available by right clicking your desktop and selecting 'properties' from there select the 'desktop' tab).

Can I use this as a Screensaver?

NO! Background wallpapers brighten up your desktop screen when you are at your desk. Screensavers are activated because you are not using your computer. When you are away from your desk your monitor should be off. Follow these directions if you often forget to turn off your monitor.

  1. Right clicking your desktop and select 'properties' 
  2. Select the 'screensaver' tab
  3. In the drop down menu select '3D Text' 
  4. Click the 'settings' button. You can now customise the colour of the text, the way it moves and what it says. 
  5. Change the text to 'Turn Me Off' to remind you to turn your monitor off if you are not using your computer.
