background won't stick

[Guest IT wanna be]

I have read the various posts on this issue but none fits exactly.

 

Computer is operating on Windows XP connected to a server with full

admin rights to the local machine.

 

If we change the background it sticks for a while but then changes by

itself and sort of tiles the image, but not exactly. It divides the

large full screen picture and puts the bottom right corner of the

picture in the top left corner of the screen and the top left part of

the picture in the lower right corner of the machine.

 

For example we put the coffee bean back ground on and it does fine for

a while and later it will have the moon back ground image, divided as

desribed above.

 

I looked for the Active Desktop content check box and I don't see

that under any of the tabs.

 

any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you are running winxp dont you think it would be perhaps prudent to post

to a group that supports your o/s and not one for win2k?
