Every time I restart my computer or exit a game my wallpaper turns black. I set it back to the original wallpaper and it still goes back to the black one. The name of the file is PerMonitorWallpaper0 I dont remember this being all black. I deleted the file and it still comes back. Can someone please tell me what is going on and how to fix this.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I would do a anitvirus scan and a spyware scan on your pc just in case. For antivirus program go to Grisoft for spyware go to Lavasoft.

Hope that helps.

Kevin.

go to search for files, type that in, DELETE ANY EXACT MATCHES THAT POP UP, then, re download the file again, (if you want it)....

There is nothing wrong with your computer, some programs have that effect on a system. Whenever I play Command and Conquer Generals, my background turns blue (that is the background color) and the picture that I have set as my background does not show up. I right-click and select refresh and everything goes back to normal. There isnt anything you can do about it.

Just a thought, if you used a VisualBasic Script or MS-DOS Batch file to open whatever program it is you are running and you figure out a way to refresh your desktop through the script, it should revert to normal without too much thought on your part. Good Luck...
