    Hello.

    I am having a problem regarding to my customized wallpaper for the logon screen, even if i tweaked the registry keys for the OEMBackground i still can't get it work, the logon screen wallpaper i wanted won't show, just the default Windows 7 wallpaper.

    If you have changed 'OEMBackground' to '1' in the registry, and put a correct image in the C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds folder, it should be working. If you've done both of these, then your image may be exceeding the maximum size. That's my problem most of the time.
