Ok, Im trying to get my gamercard on my desktop so I went to mygamercard.net and got my gamercard up and went over to "...and more!" and it says to right click on an empty part of my desktop, which I do, then it says to click Properties>Desktop tab>customize desktop>web>new>Insert URL

The thing is, I cant find Properties. When I do it, it says graphic properties, but that doesnt even pertain to what I want.

Help me please, this is starting to really piss me off.

I would think it would be from right clicking your desktop. But it's not there. I'm not sure where it is. Sorry.

They changed "Properties" to "personalize" to make the OS more idiot friendly.

It would be that size and it would be below my icons and above Salem's (The left guy on my background) head.

Does it change over time or is the image constant?

It would change over the time. It would be just like my gamercard in my sig. If I put in CoD4, then the CoD4 symbol would show up first, and the Halo 3 symbol would move to second and so on.

Eh, I dont think it sucks but Im so used to XP since the family computer has had it since we hooked it up several years ago, and my old laptop had it. I just got this new laptop, so I barely know whats going on.

I see you're still having problems with this.

You don't have the customize desktop option anywhere?
