XP Desktop background not loading

[Paul Hulme]

When I log on my desktop background is not loading, I just have a blank
screen with desktop items on top, I can right click and refresh and this
used to brings back the background picture. I have also had problems with
IE will not display the page, I can connect to ISP but not view any pages,
if I reboot sometimes this fixes the problem. I have tried turning off the
firewall and adjusting the security settings but still plays up sometimes.
I installed SP2 but these problems didn't start till a couple of weeks
later.
OS is XP.

Any Help will be appreciated, Paul

Clear the IE cache. (IE, tools, Options, Delete Files button, include
offline content.)
