After I used RegVac to clean my registry, My wallpaper disapeared. I can still select it through the Display Properties window, although when I restart I am left with a black background.
Its not important to have a wallpaper, but I would like to know what happened.
Does anyone know the key I need to reinstall to get it back.

howdy chrisms,

[1] what os?
[2] where is the wallpaper file file?

fyi - in older versions of windows [w95 for example] you had to copy/move the bmp file into the main windows dir for the wallpaper to stick.

hope that helps,
lee

The OS is win Me and all the BMP> wallpaper files are where they should be. Nothing has been moved or deleted, it just suddenly stopped appearing.
Any Clues.

Further to the last, if I go to the properties dialouge box, I can select whichever picture I want as normal, however if I restart I end up looking at a blank screen.
