Windows 7 Enterprise - Can't change background image
Hello to all,
I don't have any problem with Windows 7 until I set my desktop background to bingimages. Using this background pictures shuffle automatically. Today when I tried to set one picture on my computer as background, I unable to do this. I only able to change it to a solid color. I tried various method, but none of them worked out. I don't know why I can't change background image in Windows 7 Enterprise? Anyone else having the same problem.
Please help me to fix this problem. Thank you.

Hi, thank you for this information. Would you please tell me where can I find this "registry key". Where do I go to look for it? Thanks

If you want to go the registry key, then first you need to click on start and then click run. Once you do this, a small window will pop up. Type in 'regedit' without the quotes. This will bring up your registry. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click on it accordingly to expand it to get to its desired key.
