I've seen similar problems listed in some other forums and the like,
but none of the solutions proposed (e.g. running a virus scan) seem to
work for me. Here's my situation:

I'm running XP Media Center Edition on a three-week-old laptop.
Yesterday, I changed my wallpaper, and, after restarting the computer,
it seemed as if the wallpaper had been reset to "Blank." After pulling
up display properties, I tried to change the wallpaper: nothing
happened. The only way I could get ANY wallpaper (other than the
boring "Blank" one) onto my computer was by changing the wallpaper to
"Blank" and then reverting back to the wallpaper that I had originally.
Unfortunately, when I turned on the computer today, the wallpaper was
back to "Blank." I've tried System Restore, and the problem's still
there; I would try to tinker with RegEdit, but I'm afraid that I'm not
knowledgeable enough to deal with that (unless someone were to instruct
me on specifically what changes to make).

Granted, it's not a crucial issue, but I'd never expect the frigging
wallpaper to screw up on a computer that isn't a month old! :-/

You also seem to have a problem with mutiple postings. Call in a tech
for a housecall to fix you up.
 
'Fraid I don't see what "multiple postings" have to do with it - could
you explain?
