• 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:

• Can't change the wallpaper on windows 7 ultimate x 64

  The problem is that I can't change my wallpaper (I have in the past).

  I can't change it via the Customize menu (I choose other wallpapers, but the new wallpaper is not displayed).  I also tried to change my custom theme default theme and still does not change the wallpaper.  It also does not work when I get clickl on an image and select use as background. (my account is a type of admin)

  However I change it when I use the local and updated Group Policy Editor 1 default wallpaper for all accounts.

  But when I create a new user and try to change its desktop background it works.

  I hope someone can help.

  Sorry for my English is not my mother tongue.

   

  I went to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes and removed all the content and after reboot I could change my wallpaper again.

• Impossible to change the wallpaper in the linked Clone desktops

  Hello

  I have a weird problem with a client running Horizon view 6.0.1:

  In linked Clone desktops, we are unable to change the desktop background. We have created a new master without optimizations that I thought one of them already could be the problem (we removed the design etc. but just to get that optimizations).

  I can change the wallpaper in the master image without problems, but not in the deployed workstations. If I click on other models, I see more active design Aero, the colors change from window etc, but the background remains the standard image of blue windows ("harmony"). Even if I select the images from the Explorer, right-click, as wallpaper - no change.

  Anyone has the same problem and can lead to a solution?

  P.S.: We use management Persona. But I have already created a pool in an OU without management of Persona and still have the same problem.

  Best regards

  Thomas

  I saw something similar awhile back after running desktop optimization commands.   I found myself by opening a ticket with Microsoft and the following changes are what sets our questions.

  Reg load "hku\temp".
  «% USERPROFILE%\ \Default User\NTUSER.» DAT '.

  reg delete "hku\temp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System".
  wallpaper / v

  reg unload "hku\temp."

  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 features of windows? Help!

  I can't make changes to the features of windows that I just get this error message "an error has occurred. Not all features have been changed successfully.

  Hello FrankSwaby,

  Are you able to connect to another user account and duplicate this problem?  Did you always have this problem or it's recently started where you can't make changes to feature Windows?  Have you been able to reproduce this problem in a clean boot?

   To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Impossible to change the wallpaper, the location of the image does not display images.

  Original title: photo location not display images

  I'm trying to access my pictures folder and select a background for my office. But when I search for the location of the image and select the folder of the screen does not display images, even if the pictures are present in the folder. The screen shows only 'solid colors.
  I moved to the location of my pictures, sounds and video to another folder. Then, the default folders are different.
  In Explorer when I just click on the photos forlder ther is a location tab saying my it's the default folder.
  One last thing.
  If I go to explore and navigate to the folder my pictures, right click on a picture and select 'Set as wallpaper', then it displays the content and the folder.

  Any ideas?
  James

  I got it working again.
  And that's a good reason to not mess with the registry.
  I have used a tweak registry to hide the libraries in the Explorer navigation pane. Once I've restored it Windows seems to have found the files for my photos. I then re - hid libraries and everything seems to work ok.

• Please help; Impossible to change the position of my wallpaper!

  I know this isn't a big problem; but I would like it's working properly anyway.  I tried a new image for my wallpaper, and it showed as an image full screen.  I didn't like it then, immediately, I went back to the original image, and it was too full screen.  I went to the desktop background and the position is as I've had with a frame black (I also tried other colors) around the image, but it was not of themselves.  I tried all the different positions and nothing will change.  The image will change, but any image I try is full screen.

• Cannot create custom themes - change the wallpaper on the evolution of a theme the wallpaper on the other themes without apparent reason.

  Hi all

  I am trying to create a bunch of different themes, with various wallpapers and color schemes.

  I use right click on desktop-> personalization.

  At first, it seemed possible to create different themes by going to the image I want, right click on 'set as wallpaper', then enter right-click-on - desktop-> personalization, right click on the theme "non-registered" now watch the wallpapers, I just chose, then selecting "save us." This appeared to save the theme under personalization-> my themes.

  I got up to 5 different themes under "My themes" by doing this.

  But now, #5 theme, it works all of a sudden is no longer like that.

  Now, when the value a new picture as a wallpaper, it does not change only "Unsaved theme" for new wallpaper, it changes at the same time theme #5 to this wallpaper as well. When I save the new theme theme #6 and then go to change theme #5 to the wallpaper I had originally, it replaces theme #6 as well. It is impossible to change a wallpaper without changing both of them.

  I don't understand why it ehaves in this way. Why can't save just a theme and then not have to worry that it will be crushed randomly if I do something else with a completely different theme?

  Th information in this link can help you.
