    This sounds as if the picture you were using has been deleted. I can't recall if Windows keeps a local cache of wallpapers, or whether it remembers the path that you saved the file to. Either way, to set your wallpaper, please do the following:

    1. Right-click the desktop
    2. Select 'Properties'
    3. Select the 'Desktop' tab

    Here you will see a listing of all the wallpapers Windows knows of. If you do not find the file you are after here, press the 'Browse' button and navigate to it.
