Try downloading TweakUI from Microsoft. I had a similar problem after a virus attack and Tweak UI was able to fix some things. I've attached the link for the XP version. There is also a 2000 version, 95 and 98. Not sure about ME.After a virus attack the background tab has been inactive and i cannot change the wallpaper..can anyone help ?

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html
The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at
