My problem has only just started, after my screensaver (Aquarium) has been in action, my desktop reverts to a blank blue one instead of my usual picture. It was working fine intil 2 days ago. Any ideas pleas?

Reinstall the screensaver from Windows CD.
Also havce you install any new software recently?
If you are using XP and dont mind doing a "Go-Back", do that to a few days and see if that fixes the problem.

Sue,
I think what happened is that your background was changed to none from your previous background. Go into the Control Panel and choose Display. Click Background tab and see if background choice is none. If it is, then scroll down the list and choose your old background. If this doesn't help you, please give more information, such as if you have made any changes lately to anything (hardware or software) or if you have had any errors. Thanks.
