I DONT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE WALLPAPER OR GET GADGETS ON MY ADMINISTRATOR SITE BUT THEY BOTH WORK ON GUEST AND MY OTHER SITE. THIS IS PROBERLY AN EASY THING TO FIX, BUT I HAVE A MEMORY LOSS PROBLEM, SO I CANT WORK IT OUT. I RUN WINDOWS VISTA 64. I AM SURE EVERY ONE ELSE KNOWS THE REMEDY, EXCEPT ME. HELP WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED.WITH THANKS DAVE (SNERT).:normal:
If you are unable to change or display the wallpaper of your Windows 7 or Vista desktop, try this 1) Open Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the computer easier to see.
Ensure that Remove background images (where available) is unchecked.Save, Apply, Exit.This should help !
(2) If it doesnt, try this: Run regedit and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Then right click on Policies > New > KEY > name it as “ActiveDesktop”.
Next in RHS, rt click > New > DWORD > name it as “NoChangingWallPaper” .
The DWORD value 1 will restrict change in desktop wallpaper. To allow change give it value as 0. Reboot.(3) If it still doesnt work, maybe your TranscodedWallpaper.jpg file has become corrupted.
Open explorer and type the following in the adress bar and hit Enter: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\
Here, rename TranscodedWallpaper.jpg to TranscodedWallpaper.old.
Next, double-click slideshow.ini file to open it with Notepad. Empty its contents. That is, select all the text and delete it. Save the changes. Close explorer windows.
Hope something helps!
