I'vd been out of the "hacking" game for quite a while, now. 95/98/ME/XP were my playgrounds.

That said, if there is already a wallpaper in use, can't you just find that file and replace it with a different picture and give it the same name? Do it from a linux USB or CD if you can't write the file from windows?

Unless the wallpaper is looked up on a server somewhere and updated on each boot or something, which I find doubtful.

I have a similar question:
I want to change the go-to-screensaver/turnoff - monitor time on my computer at work, but those options are not available (but you can change your wallpaper all you want, go figure)

Why? So I can be away from my desk longer and nobody can use the state of my monitor as an indication of how long I might have been "missing".

It's a Windows 7 machine,and they use active directory to lock everybody down.

But here's the kicker:
Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

Usually they'll put the background in a restricted folder that normal users can't write to. At login it'll update that image with a copy from the server so any changes are only temporary.

It sounds like your workplace defined the 'prevent users from changing' setting but didn't define the value itself. They're different settings in the policy, all they have to do is enable it and populate it with their preferred value and voila, a uniform time is enforced.

95/98/SE/ME were very different creatures, it was actually a problem to limit users since by default users had full control. NT is the opposite, users normally have no control and administator features must be explicitly added. XP suffered from being long in the tooth by the time it was retired with a dizzying array of patches plugging holes while simultaneously opening additional holes.

It'd make more sense for you to email the manufacturer/seller and ask them directly rather than asking on some dead gay internet board.

Try nomacs. It's a powerful but easy to use image view. It's cross platform and works on almost every relevant OS. I personally use it on Windows 7, OS X 10.7, Ubuntu LTS, and Fedora Linux.

actually i just clicked on my ublock origin icon and just clicked that big blue thing and it disabled it for that page

Other adblockers usually have a right-click to block function but Ublock Origin's whitelist kind of works like a text editor for programming. This guy breaks down how to do it for videos on twitch and youtube channels without whitelisting the site and the same method should work here.

That works too if you don't mind whitelisting the whole page.

I usually just click on the video a few times.

I think you click it to load the video (trigger click to play), click it to pause, then click one last time to play.

Its a little fussy and there is some odd timing involved but once you get the hang of it this works without whitelisting the page or site.

You got a tech support problem or do you just want to socialize?

Can't we do both?

Check out youtube-dl. It's a lightweight command-line tool but IIRC someone made a GUI for it.

I've been using clipgrab, it's super easy to use and has satisfactory results

Nice, I didn't know about this.

All you need is a free host and a knowledge of how to write html, CSS, Javascript or use a content creation tool like Wordpress. Though now to think of it I can't think of a FREE domain service.

There are some free hosts out there, but they're overrun by malware and spammers and other assholes so people will have trouble visiting your site. However you don't get an entire domain to yourself, you get a subdomain, and they inject ads into your site to pay for the hosting.

I used to know the name of some of them because I kept having to add them to a whitelist I manage but thankfully the group doing it bought their own domain and hosting and so far they haven't gotten blacklisted.

Never thought about that. It's been a loooooooong time since I thought about free hosting. Probably just be better if OP scrape together a little money and pay for it. There are some great deals on hosting out there depending on what you need it for.

Try replacing the cmos battery.

Have you tried switching it off and on again?

I know OP is long gone but I encountered a similar clock issue so I thought I'd share.

I encountered a couple systems which, when shut down, would stop incrementing their clock. The clock would stay fixed at the time the system was shut down at. When next powered on the time would start incrementing again but you had to sync to an SNTP server to get it to the correct time.

Solution was to re-flash the BIOS, including boot block. Replacing the battery or wiping settings wasn't enough, the entire flash chip had to be wiped and re-flashed.

So OP could try creating a DOS USB drive, copy the DOS-based flasher onto it, then use that to wipe & program the flash. Windows-based flashing didn't work, had to be done from DOS.

If it works look into locking the ability to write to the BIOS, sometimes there's a setting in the BIOS, other times it's a jumper on the board.
