    Windows XP changing wallpaper

    When I right click on the desktop to bring up display properties and clicking on "Desktop" tab, it closes by itself!

    So basically, I can't customise or change the wallpaper. It only happened recently and Google has not found anything for me.... any ideas?

    gotta ask... Nvidia video card and have you updated your drivers recently?

    I had something close happen to me a while back... 'twas that version of drivers. Reverted back to the ones that MS deemed worthy of an update via Windows Update and got it back.

    Just a shot in the dark though.

    ok -- I installed a new NVIDIA driver from their website and it worked! For two mins that is. When I changed the display resolution, the problem is back.

    It initially worked on 800 x 600 and when I changed it to 1024 x 768, it disappeared. And changing back to 800 x 600, it still disappears.

    Mark, that's what I have been doing recently

    virus?

    i had a virus that didnt allow the "adaminstrater" to view the task manager. I ran a scan, it found a virus, i got rid of it, and it worked.
