I have windows Xp and after i got a virus my computer tech cleaned it for me and now i cant change my wallpaper or put any at all on??? any suggestions. I am tired of looking at a blue screen:confused:

can you access the Display Properties at all? or when you change it, it just doesn't do anything?

I can access it but its all greyed out.. and when i reboot the picture i have set flashes then disappears. i have a dell and its only a year old and of course you no longer get cd's to repair or anything. I tried to set everything to default settings but that didnt do anything either. I no its a minor problem but I think its strange.:rolleyes:

I've seen something like this before, and Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware fixed it

Download Spybot here, scan your PC and get rid of the bad stuff

Two very straightforward programs - run them and then see if that fixes it!

thanks so much for your response.. I will try that!!
