I try both a built in background and one of my own. In the Display image in
control panel I can stretch and center image. When I hit apply, nothing
happens. Also, many of the images in "MY Pictures" are showing up as
selections I can make for the background.

When you choose the background are you using one of the built in
images or you own image?
If it is your own image, have you tried a different image of your own
or is it just one particular image?
Can you center one of the built in XP backgrounds?
Have you tried several of the XP backgrounds to see if it is one image
or all images?
Is there and XP background that will not center, which one is it?
What happens if you try some of the other options, like Tile, Stretch,
etc.
