Comment: Hi
I recently picked up a bug that kept bringing up a spysweeper tial....I got rid of it and now my machine is clean but I can't change the desktop background. It is a solid color, and I can change the color but I can't set any of my pictures as the background and none of the Windows backgrounds work either. When I go to set a picture as the background, I right click, the click 'set as background' and nothing happens. I also tried from the 'personalize' window and still nothing happens....when I choose my own picture or one of the Windows background.
Was wondering if anybody knew what might be going on here?
Thanks!!
