Desktop Background problem

[Guest]

I was nailed by a virus that changed my Desktop background. Virus is gone.
Now I cannot change the Desktop Background from one solid colour. I've tried
the start...Display... route and the 'browse' button is deativated somehow.
Help anyone?

Thank you very much in advance.

If you are really sure the virus is gone:

If you can't enable desktop backgrounds after a virus, MVP Kelly Theriot
has a fix. Look under Wallpaper-Desktop-Disable Changing here:

If Display tabs are missing, run Kelly's registry edit on line 285,
right-hand side "Restore all display tabs".

If you are not sure the virus is gone, post back or see here for removal
