How to Fix Dark Background

Hi,

Recently I upgraded a Dell laptop from XP to Win 7 pro and I was told to save/copy the user's XP profile using scanstate/loadstate utility. The profile copied fine and the user's XP My documents folder/IE favorites are migrated.  The only problem is that the screen is dark and will not be changed no matter what wall paper you pick.

Is there any fix for that? I cannot delete this user's profile, by the way.

Thank you very much in advance!

Yes. Then copied her old profile.

I reinstalled the graphics driver and that didn't help. It is something to do with her profile and unfortunately I can not delete her profile.
make a new user account, and test if that works better
