Well, Google did not help with the error message. Did you type it exactly?
For the Display tabs, run the script at the site below. Read the top of the
page for further info before you proceed if this is unfamiliar to you.
"Restore all Display tabs"
#285 from the Right-hand colum on Kelly's Tweaks page:

What is the exact wording on your "Blue Screen" ?
With that info we could work out what has happened.

Jugen,

This is most likely a desktop item set by a trojan / malware. Try this:

Start Regedit.exe and navigate to:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

In the right-pane, delete the following values (if exists)

- NoDispBackgroundPage
- NoDispScrSavPage
- NoDispSettingsPage
- NoDispAppearancePage

Don't forget to check both of the above registry keys.

Then, follow this:

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 (None) as your Desktop background
Click OK and close the dialog.

Follow-up with a thorough malware cleanup. Begin with the stand-alone
scanner from Trend Micro, named "Sysclean" package. Trend Micro's Sysclean
package (free), it's capable of eliminating keyloggers, trojans etc. Full
