Windows desktop keeps going black

[GaibanKnite]

I hear that it has something to do with not authentic windows, however I tried to do the "oobe/msoobe /a" thing and I got a "Thank You" at the end of the process.

That apparently means that my windows is authentic(I think).

I also checked in systems properties for my vista and it said Windows is activated. I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit if it helps.

Theres your problem, Vista.

I dont know really, best would be to call micrsoft, nag at them about it and they should be able to help you.

No, but I'll get back with you tomorrow on that. My network gets locked at 10:30PM-8:00AM so I couldn't tell you until then.

Ok, I restarted my computer, but I don't think Windows is the problem. Evey time I run a game on fullscreen and come back, it shows the black wallpaper.
