[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1367320, member: 38864"] It looks to me like you did everything that needed to be tried up through step 4. Starting with step 5 though, you didn't really address a possible problem with the iPhoto Library, but instead simply moved it to a new location. What I would try is creating a new one entirely. To do so: 1: While holding down the OPTION key, double-click on iPhoto. You will get a pop-up dialogue. Select [I]Create New…[/I] 2: After making the new iPhoto Library, add a couple desktop photos to it for experimentation. This new library will also become the default one until you repeat the OPTION-launch combo to select the old. 3: Re-delete [I]com.apple.systempreferences.plist[/I] as you did before. 4: Try changing your desktop wallpaper to something from your new iPhoto Library. Hopefully this will settle that. If so, and if you have photos in the old iPhoto Library you need to recover, reload the old library and use the [I]Import to Library…[/I] option and send them to the new library you are using. But test out the new one for a bit to be sure the problems have been solved. [/QUOTE]
