I recently just got over a virus and got rid of it but afterwards it does not
allow me to change my desktop picture. My original picture shows up for a
second on startup then goes black. It also shows up just before log off too.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks
 
Did you try to choose (none) no image .if it work then delet you picture in
the background & try to add them one more time. Mybe they get infected.them
before
 
No it didnt work i tried the regedit from start: run and it gives me an error
of

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:windows\system32\REGEDIT.com
C:windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS ans Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the
application.

Um, I have this problem on my computer, and I try to follow this path:
HKEY_CURRENT
USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/POLICIES/SYSTEM

But when I open my policies folder there's only a folder named
Explorer, and nothing named System...is there any other way to fix this
problem then? And do I have a bigger problem to concern myself with not
having the System folder? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
