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.

madmike - thank you so much! I spent the last 2 hours trying to fix this issue (background not changing) and your solution was the only one I was comfortable trying (all I know about registries is that I don't know enough about them to attempt changing it) was yours. I tried it, it worked and I am now happy. Thanks again!

I have the solution...

Go to start > "regedit" Press enter

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Look for "wallpaper"

Double click on it

Give your path to your image

Reboot the computer..
