Can't change wallpaper

Unread postby theDave » May 6th, 2009, 11:49 am

Hi all! I hope I am doing this correctly. I just copied and pasted the logfile after doing a scan. I have been having problems changing my desktop wallpaper. I find a pic on the web, right click and say "set as desktop background" then when I try and change it - it won't. It flashes the changed desktop for a moment when booting up but goes back to the stuck one. Is it malware? I have run AVC, Spybot, Crapcleaner and full Avast scan. Also when I try and restore it goes through the whole thing and then says can't restore.
Any ideas? Short circuit between the operator and the machine?
Thanks! theDave
