I have my wallpapers on a timer, so here's an album of some of my better ones. I picked up most of them from Reddit or DeviantArt.

Hehe just kiddin'. If you are adamant that it's a legal copy, then my advice would be to Google for 'windows 7 loader' if not being registered is something that bothers you.

Ah, I should create a formal thread to see if anyone can help me... Basically what happened is that I reinstalled Windows on my laptop, but using the same installation disk with which I installed another copy of Windows, however I used my laptop's old Windows installation's key. But for some reason it randomly began telling me it wasn't registered properly.

I'm just using a default background right now, call me uncreative.

I usually cycle through pictures with (typically large) bodies of water in them, not sure why. I used to like the animated waterfall when I had Vista Ultimate.

My regular PC, I changed it from the usual one I have to a picture that I for some reason haven't changed back yet. It was just a random pic I found from google as a result from putting some random search words... I had been up for almost 2 days then, don't judge me;

The background on my desktop is just black, with no icons, and an autohide taskbar, so yeah, just a blank black screen. However on my laptop i have RocketDock, RainMeter and Dremescene running to make it pretty (yes, the wallpaper is animated)
