Hello, I'm new on here. I decided to join the forums and post because I found an old outdated thread that described the exact same problem as I am currently experiencing. I googled the issue, but this was the only place that seemed to relate to my problem.
The thread I'm referring to is called "Black Dots On Desktop Background" and it was posted by charleyvonne. I quote it below.
"Black Dots On Desktop Background
Hi folks,
I recently downloaded a wallpaper changer program called Winvista. As soon as I started to play with the different wallpapers on my desktop, I couldn't help but notice that it had completely cocked up! It seems rather odd, behind the display picture there are a series of grid formad dots, very small and regemented. These move around when I open windows over them or when I select desktop icons. I had a go at changing my resolution, display settings, themes, effects and tried using different background pictures. I've restarted a few times and have selected to use different solid colours, but these dots don't budge.
The program isn't running now, but I still have the dots! I could try to put up a screen cap of my desktop if it helps?
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks."
I downloaded Winvista, a wallpaper changer program, just as this member did, and then black dots appeared on the background colour of my desktop. It is very annoying, and I didn't experience the problem until I downloaded Winvista. I have deleted the Winvista program, since it didn't really work for me anyway, and also I've tried system restore- with no change.
I am VERY anxious to correct this issue. Can someone give me some advice? I've checked the advice given on the outdated thread- none of it seemed to offer the solution I need. Also, in the outdated thread charleyvonne didn't seem to find a solution either.
Please someone tell me that I can do something about this!!
