• I can't change my wallpaper (windows7 ultimate)

  I can't change my wallpaper (windows7 ultimate)

  You have software preinstalled on your computer? Your computer manufacturer might have installed something that is responsible for customization of the office and the change of paper painted. check what is running in a context (it may have an icon in the taskbar notification area). If this is responsible for customization change its settings, disable it or uninstall it.

  Another thing you can do:

  1. Open with Windows Explorer %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\ (you will find files there are two: TranscodedWallpaper.jpg and slideshow.ini)
  2. Open slideshow.ini > delete its content > save changes
  3. Delete TranscodedWallpaper.jpg (you can substitute your own file of this name)
  4. Restart your system
  5. Try changing the screen background (right-click on the desktop > personalize > wallpaper)

  I am running Windows 7 64-bit SP1.

  I can't change my wallpaper to display something other than a selected solid color. However, while restarting, a selected background image appears for a little while.

  C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper.jpg

  • Delete the file TranscodedWallpaper.jpg.

  Hi Dena B,.

  Me and my boyfriend have both administrator accounts, but my boyfriend is the main administrator account. I went on his account and tried to change it and it remained has changed in his narrative. So I downloaded a new theme in his account and selected one to use. Then disconnected and logged into my account and tried again and it worked. I can now use the new theme. And it does not change back. Very strange. Don't know if it will stop working if it goes back to the windows default wallpapers. I hope not.

  Thank you for answer you.

• Impossible to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter.

  original title: Windows 7 Starter wallpaper!

  Seriously one you can't change the wallpaper on Windows 7 starter. Of course, that I understand that this version of Windows is expected to be very light on has to run smoothly on netbooks... but F---ing screen? Microsoft remembers that they always write operating systems right? My dinosaur, Nokia cell phone from 5 years ago allow you to change the wallpapers.  They left the gadget feature but no background screen! This really proves to me that Microsoft has absolutely no idea of what they do.  Windows 7 comes on just about all netbook now from this current holiday season.  So here's my question... Why would anyone want a netbook windows 7 when XP (earlier than prior windows operating system 7) had more features it does? Apple is looking for better and better. I don't even have a netbook for Christmas, and even though I really wanted one, I'm very happy that I don't have. I'm not going to get one at all now if its windows 7 on it.  I'll wait for the Apple tablet, and that's all.  What do you mean Microsoft?

  Hello socratesman,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  In Windows 7 Starter, you are not allowed to change the wallpaper. You can't even replace the image by default by another because the system compares the hash of file of your background desired with the hash of the file of the default wallpaper.

  You need to upgrade to a more full version of Windows 7:

• C50-B-13D - Win 8.1 satellite can't change wallpaper

  Hi people,

  I'm new to this forum, please bear with me.

  I bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13D yesterday with Windows installed 8.1 and I can't change the screen to a black and white of a picture of my choice... I tried everything and even watched videos on Youtube to see if there is a cure for it.

  When I look at the Panel of the thumbnail shown in the photo, I chose, but real desktop (not the smart display bit) is always black. All my icons work fine, but the background won't change.

  If anyone can help me with this issue, I would be really grateful?

  Thank you all: O)

  You ask how to change the background of Windows?
  It's not very delicate.
  Microsoft has published a helpful article about customizing the Windows System.

  Note: there is a difference between the wallpaper and the lock screen.
  The lock screen is the screen that you see when you lock your PC (or when it crashes automatically after you have not used for some time).
