Can't install backgrounds!

[jonnopon3000]

Well this certainly is annoying-I can't install new backgrounds for the Gmod menu.

I installed this one: [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=80553[/url]

and some others once I was sure it wasn't working properly. I have installed backgrounds fine before my hard drive go wiped, so I don't know what's up.

Note: the sound that goes with that background worked.

Can someone please tell me a proper method on installing a background that I may have forgotten? Or something that may be going wrong?

Please help. I don't like the Gmod background

Are you sure you are renaming it to [b]EXACTLY[/b] [u][i]background01.vtf[/i][/u] ?
Also you'll have to remove the old background01.vtf, or just rename it to something like, "bg01_backup.vtf" or similar.

Other than those two, I have no idea what else there could be.

I used to have this error, I fixed it by reinstalling Gmod.

Yeah, pretty sure it asks me to overwrite.

Sigh thanks man

Never really wanted a custom background. I once downloaded one from garrysmod.org and changed it to jpeg for my PC background.

Thanks for the help.

Widescreen resolution doesn't work well together with a non-widescreen background, try to use a non-widescreen resolution temporarily.
