When I try to change the desktop background either from right clicking and selecting properties or by going to control panel and doing it through there I can only change the color of the background (which is currently black). I can't select any of the Windows backgrounds. I can't set a picture to the background either. In the scroll box where all of the backgrounds are listed it seems to be set on an IE image called "Desktop"
If I run a program like AOL Instant Messenger and then have it dock to the side of my computer and drag it away from the edge I can see my background but only between the edge of the program and the edge of the screen.
I'd really like to be able to change the background. I think at one time I had some malware which changed my background (Spy Sherriff). Could it still be affecting my computer?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
