What's the background it's stuck on? There has been a spate of malware
attacks affecting this. To start with see if it's a web image. Right
click a blank area of the desktop, choose Properties | Desktop |
Customize Desktop | Web. Untic everything under Web pages. Ok out.

If that doesn't work run the edit on Kelly's site:

Line 142: Allow Wallpaper/Background Changes

See the top of the page for info on running the edit.
