A few places to check:
System Properties> Advanced> Performance> Settings> Visual Effects: Check
the box to show drop shadows on icon labels.

Right click the desktop and if "Lock Web Items" shows a check next to it,
click on it to remove the check.

If still stuck with "holes" in the wallpaper, remove any web items on the
desktop using Display Properties> Desktop> Customize Desktop> Web. Remove
checks next to items in the Web list.
