Having a very short query, hope anyone here can help me out. I am running windows vista on a desktop pc. It was working fine but don’t know what went wrong suddenly my background changed to black screen. Rest all things are working fine still. Now when I go to properties to change the background image, system just wont allow me to do that. Any idea what’s wrong and how can I fix it ?
Are you getting any kind of error message as well while doing the same? If yes please mention the same here?
Also did you tried setting any image as a background? I mean, open any wallpaper from web or your local drive, right click and select Set as Desktop background. Does it works ?
Thanks for the reply buddy. There is no error messages, it just wont allow me to select any image. I can click the background but I cannot apply it.
Also right clicking any wallpaper doesn’t works to set as background. Any other suggestion?
You should download any good anti-malware and scan your system. I have been through this problem earlier and in my case it was a malware creating the issue. After scanning the system I found Malware alarm 2.1. Just cleaned the system completely and now everything works fine including changing wallpapers.
Hi,
I had the same problem after a malware attack but the wallpaper registry didn't work for me. When i go in to change my background i click on one and nothing happens, i think there is possibly something lingering in the depths of my computer that is preventing me from fixing it
