SYMPTOMS

When you Uninstall Microsoft Plus! For Kids, you may lose a user-defined desktop wallpaper.

CAUSE

Microsoft Plus! For Kids installs several different desktop themes. But when the program is removed, the desktop wallpaper is automatically set to None. This happens even if you specified your own bitmap as the wallpaper.

RESOLUTION

If your wallpaper gets set to None, set your Wallpaper back to the desired background using the following steps:
  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click Display.
  3. On the Background tab, select the Wallpaper you want to use for your desktop.
  4. Click Apply, and then click OK. Your wallpaper will now be set to the desired background.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! For Kids, version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
