Desktop Background Images Cannot Be Changed From Solid Colors
Jan 16, 2013
Whenever I try to change my desktop background image to "Desktop Harmony", the default Windows 7 background, no error message comes up but it stays the solid color. But when I change solid color to solid color, the result is different. The background changes.
BTW, I recently reinstalled Windows, I think I fixed my driver problem because I restored Windows.old, but I can't seem to get rid of all the errors such as this one.
edit: I tried to delete TranscodedWallpaper.jpg from %USERPROFILE%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsThemes
but, Windows keeps making the jpg file AGAIN and AGAIN...

After clearing my computer of spyware yesterday, all of my file folders are a pale yellow color? Why is this? Is there any way to change them back to their normal yellow shade? Also, I can only set my backgroung as solid colors, but not images.

When I try and change the background to an image it just stays as the solid color, I use to be able to change the background but I accidently set it as a solid color and I can't change it.I've tried Ease of access method.

My desktop background became solid black colors and can only select from solid colors.Even if I select image it still shows solid color and thumbnail of image inWindows 7/personalization does not work. (look at image 1 below)another problem all folder, video and image thumbnails dont work (look at image 2 belowand some of folder sometimes shows black square on it (look at image 3 below)All these happened after taking word document from usb my flash drie.Because those word documents are distorted in another computerand theirextension was .scr and i assume this may cause all these.but I use Eset Smart Security 5 and no warning and after I scanned pc insafe mode with Kaspersky 2012 and they found nothing.I tried Malwarebytes and Spybot - Search & Destroy.I also tried Combofix 4-5 times and it deleted some file but

When ever I change my background after I restart my computer it turns into a blue solid color. I want my backgrounds to stay because now every time I restart my computer I have to change it. Under the personalization panel it shows I still have a picture seleteced but it just wont show anything into I click a new picture.

For some reason, whenever I go to change the background on my desktop it automatically stretches it and won't let me save any other option such as center, fix, or tile.

I know how to personalize my pc with different background colors. However, I would like to know how to use an image stored on my pc instead of a background color. I currently have a slideshow running with my favorite pics and the background color frames those pics, but I would like another image for the background instead of a color.

Log On Screen - Change the changes are said to be successful according to the softwares, but when i tested by restarting or ctrl+alt+del, it doesnt work; the logon background is still the standard windows blue wallpaper. ive tried sfc scannow, everything went back to default(ive installed custom theme, custom start orb), tried again changing the logon background, still same result.

I did a bit of searching, but I seem to be the only person I can find with this issue (most people seem to have the opposite issue).
I want to connect to my servers using Windows 7 Remote Desktop, but I would really like to do so in MORE than 256 colors.
Everyone I see online is asking how to get it to only display in 256 colors. Well mine will only display in 256 mode and I want it in full color if possible.
I checked the display setting in Remote Desktop and it's set to 32bit, but it never actually does show that way.
Edit: I should mention these servers are mostly running Windows Server 2003 if that makes a difference.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.I use the desktop slideshow feature, directed to a folder in my pictures folder that I named desktop slideshow, I have about 1000 images in there, it's set to change image once every 30 seconds.Here is the problem, I tend to see the same 20 images or so go by over and over, and only once or twice in each loop does a new image show up, eventually I see a great number, but it tends to favor those same 20 or so images predominantly.They don't have similar names, they are widely differing in size, dimensions, and every other aspect. But for some reason the slideshow tends to pick them to go by more than anything else. I removed the images, and it chooses another 20 or 30 seemingly at random to give priority over the rest, only slipping in a random one between those repeated choices once or twice in each loop again.
So here is my question, does anyone know what criteria or method is used to cycle the images in the desktop slideshow? The whole reason I started using it was because I like the idea of seeing any one of a thousand or more pictures on my screen when I close a window, and it's kind of nice to have something I'm working on in my main screen while random art goes by on my second monitor, but with the same images repeated, it sort of loses the appeal.So far my only option has been to remove the over used images after a while and cycle in some of the old ones I removed before. But that's not really all that satisfying a solution.I searched around google, talked to some friends, and generally applied my brain to the issue for a few months without any breakthrough, and decided to seek some info from this forum since it seems to be fairly chocked full of people who have considerable knowledge of the concerned operating system, big surprise considering that is the point of the forum eh?

Restarted and Windows 7 desktop icons are now partially obscured by what looks to be some kind of 'preview' page, or something (small page-like display at lower left corner of icon with a dog-ear on the top right).

I've just had to do a factory restore on my laptop to clean it up and now I've reloaded everything I can't seem to change the desktop background. Well, I can set a different picture, but I can't change the settings for stretch, centre etc. I can access them and try but when I click on save nothing happens.

I changed my settings somehow when I first purchased my new laptop, which is running Windows 7.I wanted to turn off my desktop background and succeeded. Unfortunately, I can't get any backgrounds to display now. I have tried going into control panel and changing the background there and the icon in "personalization" changes and shows the thumbnail of the image I am trying to set as my background. However, my desktop remains black.

Every time I try to change my desktop background (the original is from google picasa 3) it goes back to the original picture after restarting the computer. I've tried changing it in control panel and what not.

I have windows 7 on my computer and I want to make a photo I took as my desktop's background, but I want it to be a smaller size and only in the middle of the screen. Everytime I try to make it my background (even after re-sizing it) it takes up the whole space. It is possible to make it my background but only in the center of the screen and not take up the whole screen?

I had a virus that I got rid of a couple of weeks ago, but it seems there are some "lingering" effects. Today I tried to change the background picture on my desktop and it won't change no matter what I do. Windows 7-64, OS.

I have a user with a Windows 7 64 bit machine on our domain. A few days ago he recieved a nasty malware virus and we removed it with our virus tools. However, his desktop is not the way it use to be before the malware. The obvious problem being his desktop background is black and it does not change. When I try to change it in control panel to Architecture or Landscapes, nothing happens, just the color of the taskbar changes. Also, Ive noticed that his "Accessories" folder is missing.I tried adjusting settings in the Ease of Access section, but still does not work.
