Wallpaper

[Tom]

Hello,
I'm having problems with my wallpaper disappearing.
I can set it, but when I log back on it's a blue screen.
When I go back to "Display Settings", the correct
wallpaper is still selected. I have to either change it
or adjust it (strectch, center) in order to get it to
display again. I've tried just right clicking and
selecting refresh, but no luck. It's does not matter
which picture I select. They all do the same thing. The
strange part is that I just did a clean install and it's
still doing it. I did copy the "My Documents" folder and
then put it back after the new install. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

Don't know if this pertains to you but worth a look....
CAUSE
The Prevent changing wallpaper Group Policy prevents users from changing the
desktop wallpaper by using Display Properties. However, there are ways of
changing the wallpaper setting, such as through Image Preview, that do not
involve Display Properties. By these other methods, users do not experience
the limitations that apply to Display Properties. You must specify Active
Desktop Wallpaper in Group Policy to prevent users from changing the desktop
wallpaper without using Display Properties.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, specify an Active Desktop wallpaper setting in Group
Policy. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, and then type gpedit.msc.
Under Local Computer Policy, expand User Configuration, expand Administrative
Templates, expand Desktop, and then click Active Desktop.
Double-click Active Desktop Wallpaper.
On the Setting tab, click Enabled, type the path to the desktop wallpaper
that you want to use, and then click OK.
