When I booted the computer this morning, I let check disk run. Now my monitor background is black. The icons are visible and colored properly. I select my own background that is changed every 15 minutes. I used Control Panel and reselected my theme but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
Bill might be worth running these too mate

I have found that when there is a glitch with the desktop, setting one of the default themes straightens out the problem 75% of the time, then I go back and set my preferences...
After about an hour, all of a sudden my original background came alive. I don't know how or why it occurred but it seems to be working properly. Thanks for the suggestions and I'll copy them in case it happens again.
