can't change desktop background windows 7 home premium
Ok. I've been looking for two hours for a solution to my problem that I am capable of doing without worrying that I'm going to ruin my computer.
For some reason, I can't change my desktop background. The last (and only) time I changed it was in December, which is when I purchased the laptop. I have a Dell Inspirion 1545 with Windows 7 Home Premium edition. I have tried going into the registry (but was afraid to change anything), I have tried the "recommended fix" registry cleaner and that didn't help anything, and I have tried locating and deleting "
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper.jpg" with no success. I am able to change sounds, and the color of the task bars, just not my actual background (any themes I download update to the color of the task bars, and that's it).
Please help me- this is very frustrating
