    Finally, a version of Photoshop Elements that works with my wide-screen monitor!

    I've been buying a new version of Photoshop Elements, hoping that it will display correctly on my 3440 by 1440 monitor, for years, only to be disappointed again! Finally, today I purchased the 2026 version, and it finally works! It looks more like the Photoshop I'm used to, and shows the color...

    For the second time I have had a Windows Update that failed?

    When I logged in a few minutes ago it tried without asking, and failed again. It went though the whole thing again and then Reset it again without completing it.

    For the second time I have had a Windows Update that failed?

    I think it may have gotten fixed. I tried to Run ... "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth<br>sfc /scannow" But it wouldn't complete. It stalled at 63.3 % every time. Now my capital R issue is back again. But I went ahead and typed the code. net stop wuauserv<br>net stop bits<br>net...

    For the second time I have had a Windows Update that failed?

    I got another notice of a new update and told it to go ahead, but after going through the process, it said something didn't go right. Don't worry, we are undoing the update. Then it went through the installation process, gave me the same message, and finally loaded Windows. I don't recall...

    OK, I give up, how do I set my own desktop theme now?

    OK, I've figured out a few things. I can't move the folders to themes but I can move all the images into themes individually, once the are in "C:\ Windows\images", they can be selected for the Desktop images, and then made into a theme. So I emptied all the .jpgs into "images" and then selected...

    OK, I give up, how do I set my own desktop theme now?

    After the last update my custom theme changed to a default theme and I can't find a way to change it back to one of my own! I get into Personalize and can't find anyway to search for a folder on my hard drives. I can get themes from the net, but I can't find a search box that lets me search on...
