Solution

Sometimes you cannot change your desktop wallpaper in Windows 7. For example, you see a black background even though you change your background picture. Another instance is, when you try to right-click a picture and then select ‘Set as desktop background’, you will get an error message “This image can't be set as wallpaper. An internal error occurred”, etc.

Ø  Start à Run à type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\windows\themes ->enter.

     

Ø  Delete the file TranscodedWallpaper.jpg.
