| | Changing the desktop background Hi I was wondering if anyone has experienced a problem when trying to change the desktop background from a plain colour to any other type of image? I noticed the background was simply black one day when the day before I had a family photo loaded. Personalisation goes perfectly even up to the point of selecting the image I want then after the choice is made........nothing happens. All I can do is change the colour of the background, that's it! Very frustrating. Any ideas? |

| | Re: Changing the desktop background Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator". Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key. If that does not work, try doing a System Restore -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "JaY-mAn" <JaY-mAn@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:18D2E173-1535-4B30-B99B-297E4EBF3E57@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi I was wondering if anyone has experienced a problem when trying to > change > the desktop background from a plain colour to any other type of image?

| | Re: Changing the desktop background I have seen this before on a domain, it was a corrupt profile, try using another profile/login to see if all works ok & then if possible delete "old" profile "JaY-mAn" <JaY-mAn@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:18D2E173-1535-4B30-B99B-297E4EBF3E57@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi I was wondering if anyone has experienced a problem when trying to > change > the desktop background from a plain colour to any other type of image?
