This happened to me also. I installed a few programs that I guess Vista did
not like, and in the process somewhere my ability to apply a picture file as
a desktop image disappeared. I have uninstalled all the programs, but still
have the problem. The computer mfg (Toshiba) tech support told me I would
have the use the install disk that came with the laptop and install Vista
again, wiping out everything I have on the computer. Kinda drastic just to
recover the use of desktop images. But then I called a MS support line, and
they told me the same thing!
I tried the svc /scannow, and received the same msg as Mark. Installing
Vista again will be my last resort measure, but for the problem, it seems
like a rather drastic solution. I ain't giving up yet, though. If anything
else comes up as a resolution, please post. Thanks.
