Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000000
CopynPaste the above into notepad. Save as DesktopVersion.reg or whatever. Right click on it and Merge
edit: Sorry the original post had that dword as 00000001. Its fixed now!

I have purchased a retail copy, and I will be installing it this weekend when I have time.
