Yeah, I've saved it in Paint
but it keeps saying "you must save the file before you can set it as a backdrop".

I suspect my computer is the biggest cunt of all.

You should save the file.

When you took the screenshot into Paint and clicked the ickle disky picture
it asks you for a name and a File type. Now precious, can you remember:

a. Where you saved it?
b. What as? (.gif, .jpg, .bmp, .png?)

Every time I try to set it as a backdrop from Paint it gives me that rhetoric about saving it
Which I have. Repeatedly. Doesn't work via Picture and Fax viewer or Control Panel either.

There may be some kind of policy on your work PCs that prevents this
Can you choose any of the different standard backgrounds?

Nah
Plenty of my colleagues have different backdrops though, I might just need our tame IT bloke to perform some wizrdry on it.
