Yea... webshots. I'm running it now, and doesn't seem to give me the problem
you have. Question for you... do you use Webshots to the full extent of the
program? Meaning the uploading of photos and such? Or, do you really just
use it for the wallpaper? If its for the wallpaper, maybe you can use an
alternative program that does the same thing... you just have to have the
wallpaper in a folder on your HD and you can have a program rotate the
wallpaper.
I'm not trying to switch you... but, its an option if that's the only
purpose you use Webshots. If not, disregard this suggestion.
And... I'm still searching.
