Problem with Windows 7 background and display

Hey Guys!
I have windows 7 installed on my computer and everything was well... Untill lately i can't change my desktop background anything other then solid colours... I can't keep JPG pictures as background from personalize option but i can keep the images as background if i first the image in internet explorer or mozilla firefox...! Can anyone help me? Also the display seems like i'm in safe mode...!

Hey!
If your screen appears like you are in safe mode, then the problem is with your display driver. Either your driver is corrupt or not installed...! Well install your display driver and see if you can make changes from personalize menu...! Check in device manager for any missing or corrupt device driver...! All the best..!

Well if everything is as it should be, then you must not face any issue, but you are having some, so that means something really is wrong...

Re: Problem with Windows 7 background and display

Turn off your Desktop Web-Graphics, and make sure the file you are putting as your background is a Bitmap file. "Display Settings" shows the graphics card settings page where you can change the monitor and resolution settings. First, try clicking on startup and say disable all, then say apply. Try restarting your computer and loading it normally, and see if it lets you get anywhere. If it does, you can go back into msconfig and start enabling startup items again until you find the one that is messing you up.

The default Windows 7 wallpaper images are located at: C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper.Open this with Windows Explorer: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\ and tell me what you see?
