Wallpaper restoration

[chen1han]

Hello, I need some help on this problem: every time about 2 minutes after
Windows XP starts, my wallpaper will be changed to bliss.bmp. I've tried
saving my Theme, moving my wall paper file and applying it...doesn't help. I
also tried renaming bliss.bmp, but now it just looks like there's no
wallpaper. But in the Display Properties, it still says that the chosen
background is the one I want, and that wallpaper is displayed in the preview
in Theme tab. (Before I renamed bliss.bmp, the Display Properties will
reflect the change.) Also it's interesting that the wallpaper doesn't
immediately switch at start up, but instead my original wallpaper is
displayed, but after 2 minutes it switches to the blue sky and green grass.

I used to use Webshots desktop, and this behavior reminds me of that
program. But I've uninstalled it long ago and this didn't happen until a few
days ago. I am using Windows Blinds, and it has an option on whether to use
skin-specified wallpapers. My skin doesn't include a wallpaper, and whether
I enable or disable that option, this still happens. Does anyone have a
suggestion?

Thank you,

Yaohan Chen

Many of the "Free" wallpaper programs you can get are really not free when
you consider all the "Tag along" spyware that comes with them. Try a couple
of sites below.

I do use Spybot Search and Destroy often, and AdAware occasionally. I just
scanned today and nothing related came up...Thanks for helping.
