Wallpaper will not change to slideshow on Windows 7

Looks like the "Solid Color" part, however, there is a way for me to choose Pictures from my library. Once I do this, though, no matter how many times I save it, no matter how much I restart the PC, it ALWAYS reverts back a Solid Color. In other words, it does NOT let me choose Pictures or a Slideshow option. I wish I could do a Print Screen so you can see what I mean.

You can help us to better and quicker help you by completing your System Specs.



HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR SYSTEM SPECS


In the line at the top of www.SevenForums.com you will see UserCP.
That is an abbreviation for User Control Panel.
Click on UserCP.
In the left-hand column, under Your Profile you will see Edit System Spec.
Click on Edit System Spec
You can copy and paste from the output of Speccy, Speccy - System Information - Free Download to fill out much of the info. Be sure to use the Other Info section of your System Specs for such info as your optical drive, your wireless adapter, your speakers, etc.



Other ways of gathering the info are:
SIW, System Infomation Wizard | Download

OR
WIN |type MSINFO32.EXE | ENTER

WIN is the key with wavy flag.

Kari, my Windows 7 is most DEFINITELY legal and came with my HP Pavilion Elite HPE PC, AMD Phenom 2 (if that helps at all) which I purchased at Best Buy. I am not the type of person that engages in illegal activities. I'll look into repair installation. Thanks! :)

Okay, I updated my system specs, hope it helps. No worries if there's no fix, just figured I'd ask and I truly appreciate any assistance you have and could give! Thanks again! :)

Please believe me, I wasn't thinking so. As I said, if you hadn't told about it working on other accounts, then one possibility had been not valid Windows.

Funny, if you haven't mentioned that it works on other accounts, I had tried to find a polite way to ask if your Windows is valid and legal. Windows reverts to a solid black background after a while, if it is not valid.

So sorry, my most sincere apologies for mis-understanding. English is NOT my first language! LOL You are too kind for helping me. :)

EmiDaShogun,
Which program did you use to gather your system specs?

Could you also specify the version of Win 7 you are using?

WIN type WINVER | ENTER
WIN is the key with the wavy flag.

At the very top in big letters, you will see whether you have Win 7 Home Premieum, Win 7 Professional, Win 7 ULtimate, etc.

Here's a snapshot of what mine looks like.
