After a virus got on my computer and wiped out my wallpaper I got rid of
the virus and now I can't get any wallpaper up at all. Ive tried System
retore and safe mode and various wallpaper sites like webshots but nothing
working and I still have a blue screen. Here is something funny that
happens when I restart the computer and shut down the computer there is
the webshots wallpaper still there. Can anybody out there help me or tell
me how to fix it
If you did not run a Smitfraud removal tool in your cleanup efforts, you
need to do so.

If you are really sure your computer is clean:
Go to the Display applet in Control Panel and look on the Desktop tab. Click
on Customize Desktop, and then click on the Web tab. You will see that
there are checkmarks next to "My Current Home Page" and probably "Lock
Desktop Items". Uncheck these. Click Apply and OK out when you've made your
changes.
If you can't enable desktop backgrounds after a virus, MVP Kelly Theriot has
a fix. Look under Wallpaper-Desktop-Disable Changing here:

If Display tabs are missing, run Kelly's registry edit on line 285,
right-hand side "Restore all display tabs".
