desktop picture

I run Windows XP and I can not get a picture on my desktop, when I try to get one nothing happens.

when you power the pc on do receive the normal bios beeps.

do you see the bios load on the screen during post.

what is your system specs.

what graphics card do you have, is it onboard

what happened previously to make this happen.

i would first try reseating the graphics card, and possibly memory.

if still no joy i would try another stick of ram, then possible a graphics card, if you have spares knocking about

Are you talking about a desktop wallpaper, or no display at all in windows ?

Its not a hardware issue then. Try antivirus, spybotsd, superantispyware.
