I drove my self crazy trying to remedy this dilema for two days. I finally downloaded a program from Stardock called Windows Blinds. That solved my problem.

Well,i have a windows 7 computer, everytimes i try to change the desktop background, nothing happens. I go to help support on my computer, it refers me to type in the search box in the control panel: " DESKTOP BACKGROUND", I don't see even this command. I don't know what to do!

Don't waste your time with all the Microsoft ****.

Go to C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

Here are the directorys for each of the themes that you can select from personalize. Just paste your jpg here and select the picture. None of the other stuff matters.

Try this for the start editions also.

I put the following in the run command:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

then deleted the bad picture, then everything worked fine after that. It was a corrupted picture.

You are awesome man... This had been killing me...
