Scenes 2.0: Wallpaper Thumbnails Are Missing (147257)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Scenes (all collections) 2.0
This article was previously published under Q147257

SUMMARY

Normally, the main Scenes screen shows a thumbnail picture for both the Screen Saver Preview and the Current Wallpaper. Under some circumstances, these two thumbnails are blank (black). If you click Choose Wallpaper, the Wallpaper images are also not shown. Instead, you see gray boxes.

MORE INFORMATION

The most likely cause of this problem is that Scenes was installed on one hard drive and then copied to another. For example, you originally installed Scenes to drive D, and then later copied the Scenes folder to drive C. This causes several lines in the Scenes2.ini file to point to an incorrect location.

To correct the problem, edit the Scenes2.ini file (located in the Windows folder) and make sure that all references to the Scenes folder point to the correct location (usually C:\Scenes). Pay close attention to the lines in the [Collections] section. The following is an example of the [Collections] section: 
   [Collections]
   Sterogram=C:\scenes\picsets\stereogr\collectn.sac
   Sierra Club Wildlife=C:\scenes\picsets\wildlife\collectn.sac
