I have been baffled and frustrated by this problem for two days now. I am running OS 8.6 on a Power Mac. Periodically I change desktop pictures, usually without a hitch. However, yesterday I tried to change from a picture that was a "gif" to one that is "jpeg". I discovered that the "Appearance" control panel is acting totally bizarre. When I open "Appearance" and then go to "desktop" and click on "Place Picture..." then a "choose a file" dialog box opens showing all the possible choices. If I choose a picture that is a gif I can use it. For all other possibilities (jpegs and picts) it doesn't show me any "previews" and when I "choose" a picture a PINK box (instead of the picture) appears covering over the desktop pattern. Then when I "set desktop" nothing at all happens. I have already tried: -reinstalling OS 8.6 -rebuilding the desktop and zapping the PRAM -updating Quicktime I don't know what else to even try!! Have any of you ever had (and solved) this problem? I will be happy to post a "hit" if anyone can solve my problem.....
