SYMPTOMS
You cannot select options or exit the Wallpaper dialog box until all the
wallpaper images have been drawn.
CAUSE
When you press the Choose Wallpaper button, Scenes displays a pictorial
listing of the images for each collection. These small images are saved as
*.THM files in the \SCENES\PICSETS\<COLLECTION NAME> directory and are know
as thumbnail images.
The process of drawing the images in the dialog box cannot be interrupted.
You must wait until all the images are drawn before you can choose another
collection or apply an image as wallpaper. This can cause a long delay on
slow machines.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Scenes version
2.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
