Guest Stan Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 A friends computer......XP Home SP2. His wallpaper is plain black.(not by choice). In Display Properties, highlighting a wallpaper does not work and the arrow keys to move the wallpaper list of choices up and down does not work. Everything else in Display Properties works. This may be related to installing IE7. He also was getting an error on startup.....The procedure entry point GetProcessImageFileNameW could not be found in PSAPI.DLL. (Not exactly word for word but close). After searching the internet I renamed all the PSAPI.DLL fills (except those in system32). The error message no longer shows on startup. I mention this incase it's related to the wallpaper problem. Any suggestions on the wallpaper thing? Oh, after installing IE7, he went to broadband so (for me) I'm reluctant to use system restore. I don't know anything about setting a computer up with broadband.

Guest Stan Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: Can't change wallpaper Hi Kelly, I was in a hurry this AM when I posted and I didn't mention that I checked the HKey_Current_User,software,Microsoft,windows,currentversion,policies,explorer.........noactivedesktopchanges is set to (0) 'allow' changes. Does your fix on line 142 just make this change or does it do more?
