How to fix Black wallpaper on Windows 7?

[Nero Ferocious]

well I am using Windows 7 on my computer. I don’t why but the desktop back ground is turning to black. I am not able to change the same by any mean. My prime suspect is virus attack. But still if you are having any speculation to resolve the issue then let me know as early as possible. Thanks a lot in advance.

I am suggesting following registry solution to fix the matter of yours.
You should launch registry editor .

Now navigate for below mentioned registry key.

HKCU/Control Panel/ Desktop/wallpaper

Here you have to set value for %windir%\web\wallpaper\windows\img0.jpg

Now restart system.

You should backup the registry key before doing anything so that if you get any issue you can restore the keys.

Let me know whether above mentioned solution is working or not.

I am suspecting that corrupted files on the system might be root cause. So you should run SFC/SCANNOW command on your computer. once it’s get completed you should restart the system and let me know about the result.
