so i have a pc and for some reason the background has changed to default and all i can do is change the color. i cant reset my background as any picture either from my pictures or from the properties setting. when i go to background properties the buttons to browse and select another background are like frozen and i cant click on them. does anyone know how to fix this? i have spyware protection and a firewall and norton antivirus so i dont know what the deal is. and im also the administrator so its not restricted or anything. thanks to anyone who has any ideas. its been like this for a few months and its bothering me now.

Your system might be running in Safe Mode.
Usually re-booting the computer will go to Normal Mode.
But, it might be something else - - - - -

As has been observed by happy comper you may be in safemode. Verify. If not succesful, Try to carryout system restore. Restore the PC 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. It is easier and mostly your problems will be solved.. If you want to know an effective procedure for system restore please visit the following site.

After successfull repairs select a standard antivirus and an anti spyware and install in your PC so that the problem does not occur again.
You can get free/paid antivirus at http://jskproducts.co.uk/antivirus.htm
Select and install a suitable anti spy ware from the following link .

that happened to me. it was unfixable because i had spyware i couldnt get rid of. the only way is to reboot your whole computer. sometimes norton anitvirus causes problems. i suggest avg anti spyware. if you need to backup your important files before you clear you computer, use mozy.com. its free for i think 2 weeks. good luck!

Hi. There is a free image program called IrfanView that allows you to set any image as your background. http://www.irfanview.com/ You might try that.
