    Background is stuck


    I've searched for a solution to this problem but haven't found anything

    AMD Catalyst upgraded itself and ever since then my desktop background has been stuck on the same picture--which is fine, it's not a bad picture, but I have it set to rotate between 1000 pictures.

    I've tried going into "personalize" and manually changing the wallpaper but it doesn't change anything...if I change the theme everything changes EXCEPT the background.

    I've ensured that I'm up to date on everything via windows update.

    And yes, this is a real, full version of windows 7.

    Anyone have suggestions?

    Start with SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker reboot if violations are found.

    Keep us posted for further suggestions.

    Try the following.

    1. Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run box.


    2. Copy and paste the following path into the box, then press OK:

    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\


    3. Delete the TranscodedWallpaper.jpg file, and then try to change your theme again.
