Everytime I boot my pc up my desktop is white with Active X on it

First guess:

1) go to Control Panel and open Display. The Display panel appears.

2) click on the Desktop tab, then click on Customize Desktop. The Desktop Items panel appears.

3) In Desktop Items, click the Web tab. Remove whatever it's trying to display and then mark the checkbox to lock the settings.

4) ??

5) Profit! 😀


...any good?

Also, scan for viruses and spyware: Windows OneCare scanner thingamabob and F-Secure online scanner are a couple you might try.

Ok, try those scans. Also, can you please

1) put up a screenshot at http://pics.bbzzdd.com and post a link (or somewhere else that hosts pics). If the reset "button" you mentioned can be pictured too, maybe it would be clearer what's going on.

2) download HijackThis, run it, and post the text from the logfile here in the thread.
 
See if you can disable active desktop on your computer. If you cannot, then you probably have a virus (or have had your desktop hijacked).
