Ultimate, Cannot display jpg background image on desktop. All I get is a black background. All bmp works fine. I have checked the registry and have found no problems. If I drag a jpg to ie7 and right click set to desktop it works but that just converts the jpg to a bmp. Even the default wallpapers that come with Vista does not work.
Background image bmp works not jpg

Hi Century,
Welcome to Vista Forums.
Look at Method One, Step Two at the screenshot under step 9 in this tutorial. Make sure that Allow only bitmapped wallpaper in the right pane is set as Not configured. You can see how using the same instructions for this in the tutorial as well.

Hi Shawn,
Everything is set to Not Configured.
Another thing is, if my display is set to 32bit I cannot see the wallpaper thumbs. If I set the display to 16bit the thumbs are there but when I select one the desktop goes to the default solid black color.

Century,
You might try a Repair install to see if it can fix the problem for you. This will show you how to.

Thanks Shawn,
This is a customers laptop and we do not have a Ultimate DVD on hand. It looks like it is an upgrade from Home Basic. We are trying to get hold of the customer now to see if they can bring in their DVD.
