I have a problem with an xp professional with sp3..
I set an image as wallpaper but every boot of xp the desktop is
blank with no images... (icons are there but background is totally black,
or the color i set...).
I change directory at the image, try to set no change at activedesktop in
windows registry, but I don't solve it...
I think is something in windows registry that disable wallpaper images, but
I don't know where to look
Any suggestions?
Thank you

This one I have tried now, but nothing changed...

This one is a zip with default images... I already have it, how can it
change something?

Thank you

Another impersonation - the poster was not PA Bear, the headers, shown
above, indicate that this is another impersonation by PCButts1 or one of
his socks.

Do that and you will have more problems than you started with.

The link is nothing to do with MS, but a link to malware.

Superantispyware was already installed, and the computer was clean.

I solve the problem... it was a "bad working" installation of Ultravnc...
I reinstall the program and I solve it...

Thank you all for help!
 
Those logo's are real and I was told by Microsoft that she has permission to
use them. I filed a complaint to MS about them and was told there is no
violation. So as it turns out she is a real a real MVP.

I have exactly the same problem. It became an issue for me as well on
the same day - anything to do with upgrading to IE8?

By a total fluke I just fixed it:
I went into the Display Properties, Desktop tab, and changed the Color
(to white, as it happens, but I don't know if it could have been any
colour).
Suddenly, my wallpaper reappeared. I changed Color back to what it was
before and the wallpaper remained.

I don't know what'll happen when I restart the machine, though...
