====================================
Have a look at the following article:

(313596) Cannot Select a .jpg Image as
Your Desktop Background Image
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313596

Also...try this, maybe it will restore the option:

go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"

Does this happen with all pictures
or just certain ones?

Can you add a background if you
go to...Display Properties / Desktop tab?

I'm thinking you have a corrupted user
account but could be wrong. It might
be worth a try to create a new account
with Administrative Priveledges just to
see if the behavior continues.

Good luck.
