    Desktop background images cannot be changed from solid colors


    Whenever I try to change my desktop background image to "Desktop Harmony", the default Windows 7 background, no error message comes up but it stays the solid color. But when I change solid color to solid color, the result is different. The background changes.

    BTW, I recently reinstalled Windows, I think I fixed my driver problem because I restored Windows.old, but I can't seem to get rid of all the errors such as this one.

    edit: I tried to delete TranscodedWallpaper.jpg from
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\

    but, Windows keeps making the jpg file AGAIN and AGAIN..... so I need a solution

    Welcome to Seven Forums YPMagic. You might try running the System File Checker and see if it finds any problems

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Your specs say you have Ultimate, confirm the Group Policy Editor settings are not preventing the change by policy.
