Do you have Active Desktop enabled? Go to the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop, and choose the Web tab.

Deselect any ticked boxes and see if that changes anything

Hi Anna,

Don't use the System Restore functionality unless it is absolutely necessary!!!  It will wipe any changes made to the machine since the last restore point was created.  For my sins, I am a software engineer and I know that this should be used only as a last resort (usually before re-installing windows!)

I have a couple of questions:
1. Do you have your own login separate to your boyfriend?
2. Can you go to this web page (http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/animals/planetearth/wallpaper/) and right click on one of the images and select 'Set as Desktop Background'

Let us know what happens

Cheers,
Clare

Crisis over!!!!!

OH has walked past the door and seen me playing with the settings.

He came over, muttering something (I didnt quite catch it but it certainly wasnt I love you very my dear!)

He then proceeded to click click click and voila no more image of Upperby cemetery on the desktop.

He has now left the room (still muttering - this time I caught the words stupid, bloody and woman).

He loves me really but I have previous for breaking computers when left alone with them!

Many thanks to you all

Anna xx

PS I would like to tell you all how he did it but I was too busy hanging my head in shame at being caught AGAIN!
It was something to do with temp web settings?!?!?!?

Any time Anna!

I was going to put in my next post that if it still wasn't working, not to worry, he was unlikely to kill you as nothing was actually 'broken'!! :)

I have virused, wormed, coked (as in knocked over a can of coke) and even broken the on off button on this pc (which is my boyfriend's) since we moved in together.

I broke the PC chair last week while swinging on it - we bought it at christmas to replace the last one that I broke by doing the same thing!

I may be banned from the PC now - it was nice knowing you all!
