My girl has a HP mini 5103, she turned it on the other day and the background image has turned black.I have run the regedit and found that the wallpaper value had been deleted. After doing some research, I set the value to : %windir%\web\wallpaper\windows\img0.jpg Still nothing. I also checked the EASE of ACCESS option that I found , that is set correctly. Its a legit copy of Windows also, it came pre-installed. Does 7 Starter edition expire?
