I have a Dell Dimension 4100. It has run windows xp for 3 years now. I
recently downloaded sp2 for xp. Everything seems to work fine except when I
try to change the wallpaper on the desktop. As soon as I click on "browse"
to look for the new wallpaper file I want to use I get an error message
"run a dll as an app has encountered a problem"
The display then freezes/slows down a little - but is not a major problem -
I just cant change my wallpaper and am worried something else may go wrong.
From looking on the net I think the problem is linked to my display adapter
but I'm not competent enough to figure out what I can do about it - if
anything. I have checked that the latest driver is installed - and I think
it is. It is;
Driver 5.2.1.6 dated October 2003.
Please help. Thanks
