Could you give just a little more detail?
Have you been through the Right click desktop - select personalize, sequence?

The desktop background appears as a blank, black screen when the Bubbles screen saver runs in Windows Vista

But only to view the wallpapers in 16bits when I leave, this happened after removal of a spyware

Re: Wallpapers blank in Desktop Background

Hi Whistler,

Please check the following folder to see if the files 'img25.jpg' to 'img29.jpg' inclusive are still there. These are the 5 images which make up that category in the walllpapers selection. Just out of interest, is it just that category that has no images to select, or has this problem affected all of them?

'C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\img##.jpg' where '##' is the 2-digit number 25 to 29.

Ok, I see Whistler.

Since you do not have any default Vista images listed to choose from, see if running a sfc/ scannow command can restore them for you afterwards.

Strange Whistler. Do you have blank thumbnails on all of your images, or just these?
