Using Black wall paper locks up computer

I recently switched my Vista Home Premium computer to using black for the
wallpaper. Bad idea.

The next time I booted up, nothing would run. Outlook would not run,
Taskmanager opened but only slowly. My browser would not tun.

As soon as I switched back to my last wallpaper, everything ran just fine.

Is there something inherently wrong with using black?

Same here (Vista Ultimate 64-Bit SP1)
Just to make sure, Are you talking about the built-in solid color wallpaper?
Or you're using some third-party software to change wallpaper?
