Wont Show Desktop Wallpaper

[icedesign]

So..basically..im trying to get my desktop to show up and its been this way FOREVER!! Anyways..i did the whole web desktop and nothing changed. And I cant select any stock desktop wallpapers from the list in the desktop properties menu. The only thing I could do is change the wallpaper color. I attached a copy of my HJT. Hope you guys could help. THANKS!

Well you have Party Poker installed, and it looks as though you have successfully removed other files with unknown tools.

But I'm not exactly sure what you mean

Can you see your Desktop (and icons) but just not wallpapers?
or
You can't get to your Desktop (have you tried Safe mode)

Also are you an Administrator account (check in users in Control Panel)
And have you checked Desktop where the wallpapers are in Customize Desktop -> Web for anything (nothing should be) in there.

Also what Windows version are you talking about?

questions questions questions !

As I couldn't see any malware (except party poker) Although I'm not a full specialist in malware servicing

I think your best option would be Start->Run-> sfc /scannow
To confirm all Windows files are intact

Note: you may need your Windows CD (OS still unknown)
And it takes about an hour to do.
You do not lose any data or security updates, and your computer will be better for it
It is stated to remove network (take the cable out) first, and turn off Antivirus or firewall whilst scanning.

Restart at the end, and try again

I'm not a malware expert on HJT logs, but this one looks clean to me

Well I did the whole viewpoint thing and its still doing the same thing. I also included a picture of what the desktop looks like...as you could see..the stock wallpapers are dimmed out in the window and I still can not select them to change the background..nor add a custom wallpaper.

 

[kimsland]

Well that insy twinsy pic doesn't help that much, but I still believe I know what you're saying anyway (strangely)

I think your best option would be Start->Run-> sfc /scannow

Sorry. I have XP

That command is for Xp. Please do it, and reply back.

That 022 entry is back and even though it says file missing, I dont like it.
O22 - SharedTaskScheduler: hemine - {9d6fac42-a7be-4702-87ef-75d8dc14249e} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\tahxqcj.dll (file missing)

Did you do all the 15 steps in the sticky that I mentioned?

Also if you are going to continue to use limewire then I would suggest that you get yourself some antivirus and a firewall asap, use the links I provided earlier.

Also could you download SmitfraudFix.exe,

To use:

1.Search:

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select 1 and hit Enter to create a report of the infected files. The report can be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

post back with the log.
