Re: Desk top Wallpaper frozen

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi PC
Thanks for your continued interest, would really like to crack this but as
a silver surfer I sometimes realise that there are some things that I will
not be able to sort out. I have run your tools to eradicate any malware and I
have even run the desktop tool in isolation even though you have told me that
they are now combined. When I try to change the wall paper I right click on
the desktop and then choose properties. I choose the Desktop tab and where I
use to be able to change the wallpaper to Bliss or one that I have uploaded,
even though I can see the selections they are not highlighted and I cannot
click on them. I can change the colour of the back ground however. Something
else that I have noticed is that when I ran your tools the screen definition
had changed and I restored that by changing the theme from My Current Theme
to which it had defaulted to Windows XP. I note however that my laptop has a
Windows XP (modified) as it's theme but this is not an option now on my Desk
Top? Any further help would get my eternal gratitude.

Hi Leythos Thanks for that and your other help. It seems a drastic step
to
do a repair reinstall but if needs must. I think I will just live with the
blank desk top for a while as it is not as though I spend a lot of time
looking at it!

Normally when things get totally screwed up on a PC you can do a repair-
reinstall and recover your system, it's a last ditch method but it
normally works and it puts back all the important files.

google for "windows xp repair reinstall" and follow the directions
carefully.
