Also, I doubt it that the registry hack does not work, you must have missed a step. The fact that you get a blank desktop is only one proof of that.
Maybe you did not enter the path correctly… or the image does not exist in the path that you specified. Please double-check that. But I understand if this might be too expensive for you, so give the tools a try and let me know if it works for you.
Hey i followed all of these steps…but when i try to change the backround by renaming a different picture as the one i set in regedit, it says cannot rename because its open in easy display thing. Josiah, have you tried the alternatives to change the desktop background? It should be easier than modifying the registry. How do you restore the defaults for the registry?
My screen came up black as well… it only shows the new background just before it shuts down. To everyone that is having the same problem with a black background after trying the registry hack:. Please download the Oceanis Background Changer if the registry hack does not work.
Also, if you want to restore the current registry keys, you have to give yourself permission. Next time, please use the search box on this site! I updated the tutorial and recommended to read your comment. Additionally, I added the correct way to do it as pointed out by judy, by replacing the img0.
It didnt work! David, it clearly says that the registry method is outdated and not working. Also, a screensaver and a desktop background are two different things, I think you mean the desktop background. So, I suggest that you follow the first method and find the folder with the wallpapers stored in it as outlined by judy.
Then you can replace that image with your new background. Nothing I do can change this message, even though File permissions indicate that my identity has taken Ownership. You have to take ownership over the folder. Hi, been a long time from last post as i see but im new with windows 7 starter… i did the registry hack and it worked well then all of a sudden it went back to the blue windows backround no idea why… when i restored the system it went back to my pic but it created other problems so i undid the restore, then i tried the hack thing again for some reason will not work… i tried changing the img0 file but even after i took the risk and gave myself full control I CANT change the file name… what else can i do???
Umm i tryied this and i failed somewhere along the way. My screen is black theres nothing there only the cursor. How do i fix the wrong i have brought upon it? I have got the same problem and because of that.. Can anyone confirm the method of Marc Price works long term?
It looks like that would do the job, but I recoil from tampering with the registry before the hack is confirmed. Of course those last complaints might be from people who never read Marc Price and judy. Ed, please read the comments from Judy and Marc above, I think they will be more helpful because I do not have access to Windows 7 Starter right now.
Perhaps no one used Marc Prices advice because Marc has a typo within the instructions. If you search for menudshowdelay you will not find it in the registry. Search for menushowdelay and you will find the entry more than just once. I am not sure to change all menushowdelay to 0 but I just wanted to point out the typo.
Good Luck too all!! I personally used a combined method of taking permission manually, so many clicks! He neglected to mention that this instance is not the only one of that string in the registry.
