Desktop Wallpaper Error

One of my clients had this weird problem today, his wallpaper wasn’t showing up on the desktop. Looking at his desktop, there appears to be a “X” icon on the top left on the screen. Its basically the same icon as a image error icon. Here is how I fixed the problem

  1. at first I thought it might be a video card error or a drive update might be required however, when I logged into an administrator account the default desktop wallpaper was able to load just fine.
  2. Check the image file and make sure it was not corrupted, load different default wallpaper image and still continue to have the same problem
  3. Compared the wallpaper setting on the administrator and user’s
  4. Noticed the position of the wallpaper was set to Center on the administrator and stretch on the users
  5. Change the wallpaper to a Center position and problem was fixed!
