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.

This worked for me too:

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.
