Several days ago it showed up normally, but then one day when I turned my PC on, it was just black. Then I did this step: I right-clicked in desktop area ---> properties ---> desktop wallpaper ---> change picture ---> apply ---> but still no pictures until this moment. I press F5 or click refresh but nothing happened. Could you help me? Thanks in advance. Thank you for all your kindness Regards, Fit : ----- I'm having the EXACT same problem as TheCuteLittleMissy.

I am not a computer nerd but I use my computer everyday sites(not porn), online gaming, etc.. so I do know how to use a computer and put wallpaper(via properties or right click on a picture) but now my computer is black on the background and when I try to change the wallpaper on 'properties' its not letting me click on anything.. its frozen and I cant change it anyother way help please =( Newbiefied

Have you tried a System Restore to a point before the problem occurred? I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

... and you couldn't just describe this in your own words, without referring to that (very) 'helpful' post, concerning an entirely different breed of Windows (and why choose the Hardware forum)? Hopefully, you can 'restore' your way out of this problem, as advised I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.

Try going to right-click on Desktop, Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop, Web. Once there Delete all but the one that says My Current Desktop and remove the tick next to it if it has one. HTH Bryan

this is my first time on this site, so if ive posted on the wrong section, sorry =/ was hoping if TheCuteLittleMissy is still around and figured out how to fix this problem to help out or if anyone else had the same related problem =( ill be system restoring tomorrow if nothing else can be helped and update this post

It sounds some kind of Trojan or Spyware! I've had a similar problem and it was spyware! Disable Active Desktop and run Ad-Ware or other updated spyware cleanner in safe-mode. Thats How I solved my black Desktop problem! Good luck I'm just a shadow of my former self!
