Default Cant change my background


Ok... so I cant change my background. It just started today. I am able
to go into all of my pictures but when I try to select one of them... it
doesnt change my background. I have tried using the original pictures
that came installed and the only thing I can do is change the color of
the background or put up a gateway background. If more info is needed
please let me know.

If you can't change Desktop background - StartControl PanelEase of
AccessEase of Access Center. Under "Make things on the screen easier to
see", deselect the option "Remove background images (where available).
Select "Save".

If that doesn't help, download wallpaper_enable.reg from the following link
- http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/wallpaper_enable.reg

Save the file to Desktop. Right-click on the file and then choose "Merge"
