    Display - Desktop

    Under Control Panel - Display my Desktop Tab is not responding. All hte other tabs work fine. I have just re-installed Windows XP Home SP3. Any idea why this tab is not responding?

    R-click the desktop, in a blank space, and selet properties.

    Was SP3 slipstreamed onto your cd?

    Because if you hit the internet with Xp or XP SP1 with out the firewall activated, you are probably infected.

    I had someone at my local computer repair shop re-install Windows. This was after a couple of hours trying to fix a sound problem. After everything failed that is was windows was reloaded.
    So far I have run SpyDoctor and Superantisyware and nothing was found. I will run Malwarebytes and then Trend Micro and see if anything is found.
    I will post back.

    I ran Malwarebytes and it found a Heuristics issue. I saw that is was a desktop wallpaper I saved. It was an Explorer wallpaper with a small windows logo in the right corner and had a telescope over a map of the world in a beige color. I have deleted the jpeg I had saved and also deleted from Malwarebytes. I am running that scan again now. I have also saved a log from Hijack this. I will post that in that forum.
