Hi, if you still have your Zorin 8 Disc, boot your computer in to live version of Zorin 8 - then from Menu, select places, Computer - then go to usr | share | backgrounds - copy and paste to an external device such as a thumb drive as if you try to save ot your Zorin 9 installation you will get an 'access denied' message. Then reboot into 9 and follow the same path and copy and paste into the same folder - you may want to change ownership of the backgrounds folder to your user to ensure this works correctly:

1. Open a terminal (Menu | Accessories | Terminal) and enter

Code:
gksudo nautilus


2. Open a new terminal and navigate to usr | share as follows:

Code:
cd ..


username:/home$

Code:
cd ..


/$

Code:
cd usr


/usr$

Code:
cd share


/usr/share$

Code:
sudo chown [your username] backgrounds


This will change ownership from 'root' to yourself - now copy your pictures into backgrounds.

Keep us posted! :D
