Aushadi,
I'm glad it worked for you as it did for me. Still no mention of the
bug from MS.
On an incidental note, just this last week they had to replace my
computer at work. It had a brand new installation of Win2K with all
updates and service packs, etc. Guess what? Same 'white background'
problem! Aargh! It was making me crazy.The computer did not have
Q832894 installed but did have the earlier problem child-Q824145.
Luckily, the IT guy gave me administrator privileges, and I
uninstalled Q824145-the so-called "IE Security update". My custom
color backgrounds came back immediately after uninstalling!
So either one of these 'non-updates' can cause the problem.
I also see that MS has different versions of Q824145 (I don't remember
the exact numbers but it was something like v 1.01, 1.02, etc.) I did
install one of the later Q824145 patches and it worked OK. So I am
guessing that MS did go back and fix the problem in Q824145 and that I
originally had downloaded one of the first versions.
I haven't checked yet whether the same situation exists with Q832894.
