Help...When I try to change my desktop preferences, it won't allow me. I am
trying to change my desktop picture, but when I click on a different picture,
it doesn't do anything. I used to have a picture on my desktop, but it is
now just a blank blue screen with my icons. Also, when I try to manually
rearrange my desktop icons, they won't move and snap back into the space they
were in. I used to be able to move my icons anywhere on my screen. Does
anyone have advise on this problem?
 
Tia68, I have exactly the same problem with my desktop. I recently removed
several pieces of spyware, and ever since i can neither change my desktop
apperearance from lite blue or icon position. Need help!!
 
Open Control Panel, double-click Display.
Click the Desktop tab, and choose "Customize Desktop".
Select the "Web" tab
Delete all the items except "My current Home page"
Uncheck "My current Home page"
Click OK, and now select your Desktop background
Click OK and close the dialog.

Follow-up with a thorough malware cleanup.
