Windows Vista Windows Vista Background won't Change

[Unregistered]

I am having trouble with the my background in Vista. I had it set as a daisy background that came with Vista, but out of nowhere, it defaulted to a standard color. It will let me change the color of the background, but will not let me set a picture or any other type. I go through the steps of changing it, selecting it, pushing OK, but nothing happens...

I've tried changing the resolution...The system came with Vista Premium preinstalled and worked well. The driver is up to date as well...

My apologies Katrina, I should have explained how to get to "regedit".
Go to your "start" icon and type "regedit" in the "Search Programs & Files".
"Regedit" will be displayed at the top of the menu list.
Click on this and "User Account Control" will ask you if you want to allow. Click "Yes" and you will be taken to the "Registry Editor" menus.
There are 5 names listed all starting "HKEY..... In my last post at no 2. Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.Click on the small triangle to the left of the icon. This will open up another menu. Now look for "Software" and click again on the triangle to the leftto open another menu. Carry on for "Microsoft", "Windows", "Current Version", "Policies".
Follow instructions from original post from No. 3
IF YOU ARE UNSURE OR RELUCTANT TO MAKE CHANGES TO REGISTRY. ASK SOMEONETO HELP YOU.
