Solved Unable to set slide show background or save new themes Win7

[SonumSaga]

Hey guys, first post here.

Basically I'm trying to set a slideshow as my desktop background but everytime I click the Desktop Background link in Personalization it always takes me to this: imgur: the simple image sharer

And even if I go to where my background selection is, it just won't save the changes.

Also if I select a theme I made before this started happening (With a slide show background) I should normally be able to right click desktop > Next desktop background. But that either doesn't work, or doesn't show up at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

P.S I recently installed "DreamScene", "Windows 7 Start Orb Changer" and "StartOrbz Studio (Although I haven't used this one yet)" I figured it would have something to do with one of these, but anything I try isn't working

Welcome to the Seven Forums

Go to C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes folder and rename the slideshow.ini to slideshow.bak.ini and delete the TranscodedWallpaper.jpg reboot and see if you can set a slideshow and save theme.

AppData is hidden use step 3 of this tutorial to unhide it http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/56005-file-folder-hide-unhide.html
