I opened the blinds this morning, it has been snowing but the view has changed.
Is their any way of rebooting my window and getting my home view back?

I'm running Windows 6.

    Have you tried using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly?:D

    Or create a screensaver perhaps .............

    you just need to fix wallpaper to the back or your windows display :)

    If that doesn't work I'd suggest you disassemble your house for a complete rebuild and see if the problem comes back, make a note of exactly when the problem comes back and if you get any specific/unusual messages in the process

    op when you say you cant see the correct view and show the picture, do you mean that the actual wallpaper image is not showing proeprly e.g the image is stretched or parts of it have been chopped off?
    look in your display options, there should be options regarding stretching image to fit etc...

    oops didnt read op properly

    Shut your house down and unplug everything. Reboot it while repeatedly pressing the doorbell to bring it back up in a location of your choice.
