OK this problem just popup of nowhere it seems, when I try to change my back ground image for my desktop the tab simply refuses to open. It just close. I pretty much can play will all the other settings but not this one. I can change my desktop background if I use, '' use this image as desktop'' when right clicking on a photo but not with the right click propriety setups.

Anyone has any ideas about this ? I didn't change any setups anywhere

Ok something new here, after a moment I get a message that rundll32.exe has add a problem bla bla bla ? I don't know what's going with this

You go the usual suspect route:

Get SpySweepers free scan at webroot.com

Get AVG's free scan: http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

If all that doesn't help; do a Repair install - pop in your XP cd - restart - at the first Repair screen hit Enter - at the second Repair screen hit r. Do not boot to the cd on subsequent restarts.

Well I do scan for Virus with AVG almost daily and do Adaware many times a week for spywares. Haven't found any thing. I'll try the repair procedure.

spysweeper is different all anti spyware are not the same and adaware is not as good as spysweeper so do as psc says ;)
