Wallpaper won’t display on monitor

by bamyclouse . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

At work, my WinXP Pro desktop will SAY that wallpaper is displaying but only the background color will display.

Adware, spyware, viruses, other malware not detected by McAfee, Ad-Aware SE, AVG anti rootkit.

Everyone else in the workplace has pictures of their kids, pets, etc. displayed but I can’t get it to happen on my PC. The screensaver (my Pictures one) works pulling from the same folders as my wallpaper would come from, and the home PC is where I got the wallpapers I burned to a CD to install at work. I checked for malware first.

It is set to stretch, the resolution is set OK, I don’t know what I am missing.

OK, I know it’s stupid and that hard core IT folks consider it frivolous and wasteful, but it helps me focus better to see a pretty picture or a funny one once in a while. Like those pretty fractals TR puts up links for.

Help? Please? I am still learnng things so please be patient with me.

Thanks!
