    Ok, so I changed my desktop wallpaper and it was fine, but whenever I shut down my computer and start it again it never saves. :/

    Any ideas? I haven't done anything at all to mess with it except changed up my own theme.

    This happened to me and the solution is in the threads somewhere. The problem is Power 4 Gear. It causes your theme to revert to a single wallpaper usually out of some other theme. I don't know why it does that, but you don't need that software anyway. The built in Windows 7 power management does exactly the same thing. I removed that software and the problem is gone.

    Happened to me as well. I was lucky enough to ruin my registry, so i had to reinstall win7 and its ok now.

    Did not know that it had to be with P4g, thankz!

    if you look at Msconfig, there's a program called Setwallpaper under the Start-up. Try disabling that and see if it helps.

    I did what Jody suggested and desktop preferences are saved now. I reinstalled a newer P4G though as I liked the application :p.

    Thanks guys.
