Click Start - Run and run these commands one by one :
regSvr32 /i shimGvw.dll
regSvr32 /i msHtml.dll
regSvr32 /i shell32.dll

I had the same problem and tried all the suggestions I could find on this
forum except acually changing the registry which I was afraid I would mess it
up. I found the following web site which took care of the problem for me:
http://www.myfixes.com/quickfixes/fixes/25
There is a batch file called "clearPolicy" and I clicked on that and the
wallpaper came back and I am able to change it again.

Hi,

1. Open Control Panel, double-click Display.
2. Click the Desktop tab, and choose "Customize Desktop".
3. Select the "Web" tab
4. Delete all the items except "My current Home page"
5. Uncheck "My current Home page"
6. Click OK, and now select your Desktop background
7. Click OK and close the dialog.

If that does not help, execute the following command from Start/Run dialog:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Press ENTER.

See if you're able to change the desktop background.
