hey there people,

I have a problem with the desktop wallpaper on my external monitor - it keeps changing pictures every 10-15 mins or so. I have a 15"mbp, and no problems with the built in screen, only with the external lcd.

I have of course made sure that the "change picture" box under display preferences is unchecked, and i have also deleted the folders from the display preferences that keep on showing the pictures that i dont want to be displayed.

On top of that, I have moved the com.apple.desktop.plist file (a new one is created straight away), and still i have this problem.

Any suggestions anyone?

thanks in advance,

Ali

This is a buggy little feature. I used to use it, but had the same problems so I gave it up. I think what I had to do was uncheck the box then restart my MBP while it was plugged into the monitor and it stopped. I hope that helps.
