  Anyone now how to fix it?
  Thank you

  Hello

  It's definitely a software problem. I guess a virus/Trojan or malware could be the problem. A really useful step would be to you when you give more details on your system, which installed you´ve or what you´ve done (internet, update the driver, etc.) before the problem appeared the first time.
  In my view, we will be able to discuss much more better your problem then now.

  Hi CrazyPizzaJoe,

  Run a scan for malware by installing the tool following "Malwarebytes" from the link: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

  Make sure that you update the Malwarebytes tool before you run the analysis and then run a full scan and remove if infected files found on the computer.

  After that, open a Notepad and copy the following text and save it as desktop.reg on your desktop

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

  After you save the file on the desktop as doubleclick desktop.reg top and click Yes when prompted and click Ok to confirm, and then restart the computer.

  Then try to change the desktop wallpaper and check.

  Please answer if this helps.

• Impossible to get to change the desktop theme

  Customization, I put my wallpaper to an image on my computer, and it shows that it is the setting chosen and the chosen theme.  I put the color setting to be the lowest intensity.  However, the image does not appear on my desktop.  The office is rather dark.

  What have I done wrong?  I want the picture that I chose and that shows selected as successfully as my desktop wallpaper appears on my desktop.

• Tried to change the desktop image and lost all of them.

  iPhoto was opened I was looking for an image specific, but also decided that it would be a good idea to multi-task with my iMac and tried to change the image of the desktop at the same time. Apparently, it wasn't the best idea. While seeking photos through system preferences, a pop-up asked if I wanted to pass something. I'll tell you... I didn't read entirely, but thought that he wanted to reopen iPhoto in System Preferences, since I had the app open on its own. I clicked 'OK', which seems to be the point of civilization to collapse, as it appears that I lost all the photos stored in my iPhoto library! What I did and how can I fix? Everyone?

  Hold down the option key while launching iPhoto and using more select Library window select the correct iPhoto library

  If somehow you deleted it (nothing you described in your question can result in the deletion of the iPhoto library) and then restore your backup iPhoto library until you have removed

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  See you soon.

  I've updated all my drivers, including the BIOS, I've tried almost all methods I found online to solve the problem, and I would really like to avoid to restore my system simply because this Dwm.exe decided to stop working... I did not install new programs recent, nor have, I changed the parameters significantly... advice?
  I'm running a 64-bit windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1,
  If you need more information on my system, I'll be happy to provide.

  The module failed (StackHash_1dc2) is not formally identified.

  You can check the event viewer for error and see if the module failed is identified:

  Start > type eventvwr in the box "search programs and files", then press 'Enter' > expand "Custom views" > "administrative events.

  Are looking through 'administrative events' Application errors involving Dwm.exe

  Double click on each event for more details.

  The symptoms you have described as the loss of Aero, I suspect a component connected to the graphics driver may be the issue.

  For example in this link , make back the graphic driver Intel seems to help.
