I am having a problem with XP desktop changing to a white screen anytime I
change something on my desktop. For instance, if I remove an icon, the
background goes white. When I go to change it back in the display properties
area I am not able to change the background to anything other than an
customize desktop setting...such as a specific web page or a color. Any ideas
why I am not able to change my disply settings to a background (it is greyed
out and unaccessible)? Any suggestions are much appreciated as I am stumped.

Hi

Have you installed the latest XP compliant drivers for your graphics card
from the manufacturer's web site?
