Black Desktop Background

The alt+shift+print screen worked for me.

You have to hit the sequence twice.

Wanted to register just to thank you folks. This is at least my 7th problem you've fixed. Pun intended.

Hi All,

I have a Windows 7 home premium installed in my system. I am facing the problem of having a "black screen as a desktop" and with an additional tag at the bottom saying
"Windows 7
Build 7100
This copy of Windows is not genuine"
Please help me resolve this issue ... I have tried all the methods that you've suggested here, yet it doesn't work fine for me

Karthik. Welcome to sevenforums.

First of all, Windows 7 Starter does not support (by default) background changing.

So you'll need to do this for it to work:

Go to option 2

Hey! I don't know if you will ever actually get this, but YOU CHANGED MY LIFE! I have spent HOURS browsing blogs and whatever, buying software, thinking it was a driver problem or registry problem or something TOTALLY wrong with my computer and that a bigger crash was coming and all along it was that STUPID STUPID box checked! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR POSTING WHAT YOU FOUND OUT! I WILL BE GRATEFUL FOREVER!!!!!

Hi Everybody!

i went through all the solutions mentioned here..
1. my "make the things on scree...." is already unchecked..
2.I tried that alt+shift+prnt screen too (twice!!) ... same black bg
3.my OS is genuine.
4.Tested the driver too.

But the solid colours are changing..
I am stuck up with black/ solid colour background.. any solutions, please?

Brilliant answers but like Aby501 my problem was not solved. Changing my desktop background has seemed to work though - got the idea from this post [Bug] Desktop turns black in Windows 8.1 | Winaero Hope it helps someone!

I have tried everything under the sun
even the really helpful suggestions here
after 3 months of this black background issue I finally found a youtube video I watched and followed step by step and FINALLY solved my black background issue.
