    2 ways to try

    A) 1. Right-click anywhere on the Desktop and click Properties

    2. In Display Properties change to the Desktop tab, where you will see a monitor image with your wallpaper and the list of images below it

    3. Choose any other image in the list than the one currently selected and then select the original image used as wallpaper and click Ok, your wallpaper is back! ( To make this step simpler just selct the image above or below the currently selected one and then select the original image then click Ok )

    B) Try creating a new user account,open xp in new,if all works as it normally

    should,youre other account is corrupted.You could then run file transfer

    wizard, set as old computer,select files,settings etc for it to save,save in new

    folderyou create,once data is completed to new folder,move to cd.
