I have two monitors and would like to sync the chaning of images, but when I select a folder I don't necessarily get the first image to come up after checking change background every five minutes. So, I can't sync it.

Any ideas?

Ok, I know that others have this problem too, does anyone have a solution? Sorry for all the bumps, but I've been confused as to how it decies what images start at what times, and have been trying to fix this for months....

I'm just not sure I would know a solution. You might just have to settle for a single pair of images on your desktops. Did you try them in an order that isn't random?

When I try cycling through images I do not have random selected, but selecting cycle causes each monitor to start rotating with an image that appears to be random, but it is consistent that it starts rotating at that image.
