Cannot change desktop background in Windows 7 Home Premium

Are you trying this way no?

Default location of Windows 7 wallpaper:

Windows 7 is come with some very nice default wallpapers. These wallpapers are really nic. The default Windows 7 wallpaper images are located at:

C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

If your operating system is located other than C drive then the default location is just changes with drive name. For example:

If your Windows 7 is installed in D partition of your hard disk, then the default location of Windows 7 wallpapers is:  D:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

If your Windows 7 is installed in E partition of your hard disk, then the default location of Windows 7 wallpapers is:  E:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

Steps to change Windows 7 desktop background

Step 1: Right-click on the empty space on Windows 7 desktop and click on Personalize option.

Step 2: Now, click on Desktpop Background link at the bottom of the windows.

Step 3: After the above steps, a new window will be opened. In this windwod, you will find several nice wallpapers. To choose any wallpaper, just click on any wallpaper and that wallpaper will be set for your desktop background. If you want to set other image as your default background, then click on Browse button and browse to your favourite image location and select that image.

Step 5: After selecting the image for your desktop background, click on Save changes button.

Thank you for your reply.

Yes thats exactly the process i am using, however after i have chosen and clicked on the desktop background i would like, and pressed 'save changes', the background does not change and remains the background it was before. As i said it worked when i first upgraded to windows home premium for the first day but hasn't since. The only chnage i can think of that i have made is that i installed the latest version of messenger which installed some msn live software.

Please advise?

Can you check with the Laptop vendors ....? Is it laptop no?
