I CANNOT choose my own wallpaper. I've research what the problem and I've come up with different solutions, but none of these seems to work such as, deleting the Transcoded Wallpaper.jpg.To put it simple my wallpaper is black or a solid color and even if hit "save changes" in the personalize menu in Windows 7, it still won't change. I see the icons, everything is working fine, its just that my wallpaper can't be change and you only could change to a solid color.This issue started when a relative of mine installed iMesh into the computer, I removed it completely and since then the black solid wallpaper has been on my desktop.
I am using Windows 7 build 6956 on a laptop with t3200 2.ghz cpu and intel 4500 gma with 4gigs of ram.Now my problem is that on random cases the desktop would go black more specifically the wallpaper disappears. The taskbar is there working OK, when I click the show desktop button on the taskbar the wallpaper re-appears. When I browse the windows by hovering over the windows all seems fine but when I click on the window the wallpaper disappear again. So far it can be resolved by a simple login/logout but still annoying. The only instances I remember this happening was when I was trying out the slideshow and after playing dota (GARENA).
I recently sent my laptop in for minor repairs. Since having it back, my desktop background is staying black. I can "change" it in my settings, but the slideshow is not displayed (all icons, etc. are still visible). The selected background will flash on the screen briefly if I am closing a window or minimizing to the desktop. I've looked through settings to try to deactivate this black screen, but I haven't found anything useful.
I dont remember reading this, so i'll share my experience. The starter version has a nasty 'feature' of not featuring an option to change your background image. Many people have tried and the only reliable ways to do this turned out to be 'drawing' one on top of the other using 3rd party software, or to patch system files. Now i wasnt really happy about those options, becouse I run windows 7 starter with only 1 G ram (at the time there was crapware running in backgroud, had a look into that so now I CAN miss it). However I was so stupid to replace the img0.jpg file in the windows web subfolder to try something less ram expensive. Yes, now I now, I should have searched about it and read for my self this was not an option becouse part of the image was hardcoded... well I was stuck with a black background and no way to change it back.
My new laptop is only 5 weeks old. It is Windows 7 64 bits. Since yesterday, my desktop does not display Windows 7 logo nor HP logo. Instead, the desktop is white color covering my blue wallpaper and has huge black letters message saying: "Stop! You may have to clean up your computer with our program because it may be clogged up. "The service trays lower left and lower right both display the few icons correctly (volume, Skype, Weather, Internet Explorer 9 etc.) When I click on these icons they work. They work. How do I gat rid of this annoying message and get back my blue wallpaper and desktop with Windows logo& and HP logo? There is nothing to click on to delete the message. My Norton and Microsoft Essentials both ran a long scan and both tell me I have no virus.

I have a problem with my windows 7 home premium laptop..previously I was able to change my wallpaper but how come it doesn't seem like I can now? For an ordinary person to change the wallpaper they had to right click desktop, select "personalise", then go to "desktop background" and select one. Problem now is that it doesn't do anything when I click a new wallpaper or selct one and click save.
I had my wallpaper set as one that changes every 3 minutes or so. I set it up Wednesday, but yesterday when I put my 2nd monitor on to watch a movie, the wallpaper disappeared and went blank. I thought it did this just because it wouldn't work with 2 monitors enabled, but when I turned the 2nd monitor off in Nvidia control panel, the wallpaper flashed back on for a second and now it stays black. I restarted but it still stays black. Even if I try changing wallpaper in Personalize it doesn't change.
I can't seem to figure out how to set an animated gif as my desktop wallpaper in windows 7 so that it will work properly. Normally it just treats it as a still image, though it used to work on windows XP. Any programs out there that will make it work or any way to change this without the use of programs?
I am trying to tile my desktop wallpaper which is 550x335, and it is simply not working. Every time I go to tile it, it makes it really wide to fit the entire screen and it comes out very blurry. Currently I am running a 23'' LG widescreen monitor. My resolution is 1920x1080 running Windows 7, 32 bit.
Suddenly I no longer can add folders to my themes .Also some of the theme folders that I had working previously gets stuck at the first slide and the slide show no longer works. When I try to change to the next image from the desktop nothing happens.I have tried sfc scanner and it is OK.No malware found with Malwarebytes.Power option slide show is available.
Does anyone know if there is a way to create a button on your desktop that will change the wallpaper of the desktop? Or even better perhaps, cycle through a different wallpaper for each click of this button, where you can add as many as you want, for an Easter Egg perhaps for a theme for Win 7?
one day when i was working with my laptop suddenly everythng i mean pictures everythng changed as photo negative colors...i restarted my system...n after that a black screen came on my desktop..i am able to change the desktop and also i am able to perform all d operations but the thng is like i can't view my desktop
My OS (Win 7 Ultimate) is giving me problems.Even the most simplest thing like changing the desktop background is annoying.Earlier I had Win 7 starter so I installed Winreview's Personalization Panel.Now , When I click on the Personalize & change the desktop background , it behaves like it has changed but it is stuck on those solid colors
Over the past several days my HP Windows 7, 64 bit, Home Premium PC has developed a freeze problem! After rebooting by pushing the button, it functions quite normally for anywhere from 20 minutes to a couple of hours. Then, without warning, one of several things happens, each resulting in a freeze. And in all cases I have to reboot by pushing the button.
* The desktop icons disappear, leaving only the wallpaper. * The cursor disappears or freezes in place and nothing can be done. * I will be working in a browser or in a MS Word document and it will grow faint and when I click I get the prompt that the program is not responding, then I am unable to do anything even though the cursor works. I can't close anything, open anything or reboot.
I have researched the issue, but it is so broad a problem, I don't have a clue where to go to research it.I have checked that no sleep mode is on. I have turned off all screen savers.I have disabled a good number of startup programs, including uninstalling several potential offenders.I have run cleanup programs such as CCleaner, etc. I have defragged.I ran scannow on my command prompt. No system errors were detected.I have run several spyware programs, but the problem persists.My hunch is that there is some program conflict or perhaps the browser is the problem. [code]
I downloaded Animated Desktop Wallpaper Snow but now I want it to stop and off my computer! When I remove it from my computer it's still keeps on snowing.
So in the last month i noticed some of my folders i keep on the desktop change form the newer slicker icon of a folder back to the typical windows yellow folder. Then more and more until all of my folders where like that.Then all of sudden some sounds started to go from a normal contemporary notification sound to a dull sound from XP or older.Then about a week ago the "bar" if you will changed from a typical Win7 style back to a XP one where its dull. And its like that everywhere.
I have tried icon programs at first to fix the folder issue and unless i wanna do it one buy one its sucks and i just want them back to a normal win7 folder nothing fancy.I have tried changing themes via the ones pre installed and it might change my desktop wallpaper it never changes the "bars"Also tried other non microsoft theme programs with the same results.
ALSO i scanned my pc with Malwarebyes, CCleaner, WinASO, AVG and cleaned all up and so on rebooted all the same.Thought i may have installed too many apps or at least big apps (photo/video editing) and i uninstalled a few with no difference.So then i decided to check out my ram. So i make a bootable disc of a memory scanner. Ended up getting into the millions of errors with the ram i had and i stopped it before it was done with the intentions on getting ram and not waiting until scan was done to tell me i had 500 trillion errors lol. Bought new ram installed it started her up and BAM .... same thing.I have not scanned this ram as my wife uses it while im at work and when im home i do alota 2nd job stuff on it so i dont like having it offline long.
Can't change desktop wallpaper and all my program files folder are empty?I think it could be a virus or something. I have been told this can be useful.

As of recently, my desktop wallpaper does not want to change size when I go to Personalize>Desktop Background>Picture Position. I chooses "Stretch" everytime even though I try using Center, Fit etc...This happens with different images at different sizes each...How to fix this? (Windows 7 Ultimate)
Yesterday i bought new grafic card geforce GT440 after my old 9800 GT stoped functioning normaly(memory failure). So here is the problem, when I start any program or do anything the computer the computer is functioning normally, but when I turn to desktop(which has black wallpaper) the monitor goes so dark that I can't see almost nothing. I tryed to find some power saving options in windows(win 7 pro, 64 bit) and on envidia control panel but i cannot find any cause for that dark screen. Even if I load a black page on my mozilla the monitor goes dark. As it cannot represent dark colors normally.
I've been having a repetitive and troubling problem with Windows 7 when signing in to any of the user accounts on my PC.Said problem seems to occur at varying levels, so I'll just put them down in point form to try and avoid confusion:1) The desktop (and icons) show up completely black, and the task bar/start menu (everything, save the mouse, really) freezes, forcing me to hard boot.2) EVERYTHING on the desktop, save for the start icon, shows up black, and the start button is frozen. Once again, the mouse remains active, but I'm forced to hard boot.3) The desktop, icons, task bar and start icon all show up fine, but my PC suddenly freezes, forcing me to hard boot yet again. Once again, the mouse remains active.
I would really, really like to solve this problem without having to reinstall the operating system. I've already reinstalled it once, and I don't want to reinstall Microsoft Office, my security programs, photoshop, etc... all over again.Microsoft Office in particular, as I'd have to buy it all over again. ><At the same time, I hate hard booting my PC. I've heard it's not good to shut down your computer that way, but I literally have no choice when this problem arises
I am running windows 7 basic on an acer netbook and every time I log on I get a desktop that is covered in black except for the application shortcut icons. When I highlight areas of the desktop by dragging the mouse over it it gets rid of the black. Also I've noticed as I type this my text is is being entered way after I type it in like one letter at a time very slowly.
bought a dell touchscreen inspiron one 2320, thought it would be better than my two year old dell (don't see it yet). i am an average user and i am not impressed. anyway the question is why does the monitor go black after 1 minute? i have done all the normal stuff in power options. change power saving settings, change when the computer sleeps. choose when to turn off display. turn hibernation on or off. i upload to Internet and it the shutting down makes it frustrating....
I have PDF icons on my desktoip that have all of a suddeen turned black. I also have some that are OK with the regular icon. I have no idea how to solve this problem. I have searched all over for a solution to this problem but indications on how to solve it seems all wrong. Nothing works.The entire icon is black but the PDF logo is displayed in the bottom right corner.
Im having the same problem, I have a TOSHIBA laptop satellite L355 S7915. I remember the good ol days when i could just simply choose a background. Now, its just black. I can change it or choose a different one, but the background continues to be black.
i have this on top of my desktop after a fresh install of windows 7 64bit and and it goes behind they apps but the when click on it goes in front of they apps
i dun know what happened the last thing i know was that my toddler was pressing all the keys on my keyboard.but manages to turn off the computer using the normal keys. at the same time i installed the winamp player.right now everytime i turn on my pc,after signing in and boot up, the only thing i see is black and one folder file.(my computer/file).
