Has any one encounterd this problem. I set my desktop bg and it wont show up. All i see is the selected bg color. When i start up or shut down i can see my background picture is there underneath the background color. It is like the BG color is alwasy on top and the bg picture is under it.

I’m using XP

That happened to me once before too. I don’t remember exactly how I fixed it… I just messed with settings for like an hour and restarted and changed directories and stuff… it’ll eventually show up.  
See, no biggie

No, it’s out to embarrass you. 🙂

Mine’s done it as well, also with XP. Pffft. No idea why. Probably some kind of bug somewhere… It wouldn’t be the first…
