Try this fix

"the Registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WallPaper] is missing and caused this problem. To work around this issue, please create a String Value [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WallPaper] on client and try to set wallpaper. "

I had this issue on our default user.v2 profile on our domain and it drove me crazy for a bit :p

Let me guess, you have an NVIDIA video card. If so, download and install the latest drivers for your video card from here.

hmm very bizarre. Out of interest, try making another user account on the system and try to do what your doing with that. If it works, then it's a problem with your user account.

before formatting try use System Restore! SR will take 10 - 15mins... give it a try!
