Unable to change desktop background

Q: After removing a nasty virus from my system, I am no longer able to change the desktop background. All I have is a blank screen. When I go to my display section, it shows the background that I would like to use, but I am unable to get it to load to the desktop. Is there a way that I can add this background back to my desktop?

A: Try this:

  1. Right click an empty area of your desktop
  2. Select Properties
  3. Select the Desktop tab
  4. Select the Customize Desktop button
  5. Select the Web tab
  6. Click to highlight each entry here except for "My current home page"
  7. Uncheck the checkbox titled: "My current Home page"
  8. Click OK
  9. Now, try selecting the desktop background you'd like to use
  10. Click OK
