Wondering if anybody could help...
On changing the desktop background from one picture to another, the desktop
screen flickers a grey/white image and remains there. My computer has 4 users
with accounts, this grey background is on all 4 accounts and cannot be
replaced with a picture anymore. I've tried setting the desktop backgorund as
usual, by either right-clicking an image or going into the control panel,
either way it just will not work. My monitor is fine and I know it isn't a
resolution problem or anything monitor related. I simply cannot change my
desktop background from the grey screen to an image of my choosing.
Can anybody help...?
