I can not change my desktop background.
I downloaded something from limewire and my computer seemed fine. (It all happened yesterday). I then shut down my computer and when I started it up the next morning my backgroud changed to something I didn't want. I go to the place where you go to change it and this is how it looks like.
 The grayed areas it doesn't allow me to click anything. I tried searching images and setting it as my background it changes as soon as I turn it on the next time. I scanned my computer using McAfee 2003 I think and it didn't find it. It only found cookies. (keep in mind I havent shut dow my computer since then). I checked numerous forums, but I couldn't find what to do please I have no where else to go I need your help. I will try anything if it is reasonable. So I know this forum has some of the smartest so that is hwy I came here. So what should I do? What info do you need? |

Hi there and Welcome to DriverHeaven!
Since your problem is about windows xp I moved the thread to proper parts of the forums.

WHAT did you download and run?
Also, do you even update at least weekly your antivirus program? If the signatures and engine are from 2003, I don't know how many real viruses you can actualy catch. Not mentioning the bad quality of the antivirus program in general.

arg this would be easier if i could just go over there & do it.... or remote desktop
is the desktop the ONLY thing that changed? there's probably a program running so a hijackthis log would be good there's also simple reg keys to enable/disable the desktop options but i suppose you may not be familiar with the registry oh & what does 'customize desktop' have in there?? & if you see any mention of 'active desktop' somewhere, turn it off
