| | Theme Problems I've been experiencing a strange problem with my themes. Sometimes 7 will stop displaying the desktop background. It just becomes a black screen. I can try changing the desktop image, refreshing, show/hide icons...nothing works. The background just stays black. If I change themes, the UI color will change, but the background will stay black. The only way I can fix the issue is to reboot. Any ideas? Note, this almost always happens during the transition from Aero to Basic (e.g. if I run a program that doesn't support Aero), but will also happen randomly. |

| | I've had this issue as well. Usually when I unlock my pc or exit a game. |

| | Hmm so apparently not isolated to the graphics card..as I run an ATI card, and you run an nVidia card. I too will run into the problem frequently when exiting games. |

| | Ive got the same problem every once in a while when I exit games, Haven't figured it out yet. Oddly, it doesn't seem to happen at all when i'm using a single file for my background. |

| | Im going to leave my background on a single file for a little while longer, i may just not be getting into the right situation to recreate the error... |

| | All you having this issue check and see if DWM is running in task manager - if it is, try restarting it - if not, try starting it. |

| | Just encountered this issue switching between the classic theme and a Windows 7 one. Killing dwm.exe and restarting it fixes the issue. |
