What can be done when the Windows 7 desktop background image gets stuck?
Windows 7 sometimes gets stuck on the desktop background image for no apparent reason, freezing the default slide show, or even displaying a blank, black background. And while parts of the theme (folder windows, sounds, screen savers, etc.) are still adjustable, the background image is not. Restarting the system and even a system restore won’t help, which is why it can be highly annoying.
Here’s how to fix the problem…
Open the following window/folder:
%USERPROFILE% AppData Roaming Microsoft Windows Themes
(if you copy and paste the above line, make sure to delete all the spaces before hitting the enter key; Yahoo Answers didn’t allow me to display the entire path without them!)
Then delete the file TranscodedWallpaper.jpg, or replace it with a background image of your choice with the same name, and try changing the wallpaper/slideshow/theme again! This did solve my problem.
If this didn’t do the trick just yet, you might have to delete the (hidden) file slideshow.ini, located in the above mentioned folder as well. Though then you’ll have to restart your PC. After the restart you’ll likely be free to set a new wallpaper/slideshow/theme.
Good luck!
