Win7 forgot my desktop background

(1/3) > >>

T3sl4co1l:
Have tried the usual suspects: power settings, group policy settings, clearing the "transcoded" file, checking registry (it's set to allow wallpaper changes every which way I can see). Can't get it to change the image at all. Default themes still work, and flat colors, but not my own image selections.

Electro Detective:

Have you tried a total shut down and restart or two, and then the Windows error check function?

You may have a bad or lazy hard drive sector, and or some software at startup that wants to be boss turkey

Good luck  :-+

 

Fenstergucker:
In the last updates for Windows 7, there was an error with the background image when it was used "stretched". Here are two links in german:

Error:

Fix:

It may also helps to display the background image "centered", and then again "stretched".

T3sl4co1l:
Oh what the hell, it does depend on stretch vs. other!  Unfortunately I am not eligible for that update it seems; it's also not showing black when I select stretch, it just doesn't change it at all, it ignores whatever settings are made with stretch selected.

Not eligible? Can you download the update and install it manually?
