Updates create desktop background problem

[Mike]

Several updates to Windows XP Media Center 2004 recently downloaded to my
computer, and since then the photo that served as my desktop background will
not appear. The desktop background is now royal blue - when I log off my
desktop, the photo appears briefly then disappears. I tried to reinstall the
photo as desktop background, but it didn't work. The computer will only let
me change the background color.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?
