You can put your picture in the main BK folder or in any of your data folders (if you have more than one). Just make shure it's a JPEG file and rename it bkscreen.jpg.

This whole discussion is interesting. I always had a Main Screen Picture up on my BK system, but suddenly about 3 years ago, after installing one of the updates, it suddenly stopped displaying. I played with it at the time to try to figure out what went wrong, but gave up because it really isn't any big deal. Since then, I really never thought about it, and it hasn't worked to this day, many updates later. None of the suggestions I have heard here seem to activate it, but it's interesting to see that others have run into it. -- Paul J. Lareau Freedom for Imprisoned Books!

To Paul J Lareau One other person did not get the picture, but his picture was accidently called: bkscreen.jpg.jpg So rename the picture and put " " around it and call it "bkscreen.jpg" See if that fixes the problem. (Sometimes Windows will hide the extension, so you do not see the extra jpg but using quotes fixes the problem.) John Steed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul J.
