Title: desktop problem
Post by: mdoggy39 on July 08, 2005, 12:13:25 PM

I had a virus and homepage hijack. I cleaned it all, got rid of everything, but the only thing i cant fix is my desktop. All that I have is a plain desktop, I put in a background but it wont show up, I have a white background that changes shades to grey. Anything I do wont change it, any ideas?
