change your background appearance

display properties, desktop and then change the color in the bottom right

 

[spanky]

change ur background color?

 

[Nocturnal]

Change it to what color though? It would automatically change. There is no "clear" setting.

If you've got the desktop eyecandy to "Let Windows Choose" turn it to manual or full.

So how long have you had that background, WAITING for that problem ?

[schdaddy]

Right Click "My Computer" > Properties > Click on the "Advanced" tab > Under "Performance" click settings > Set it to "Let Windows choose ... " then check all all the boxes under "Custom"

that should reset all the visuals back to default

Turn off the web tab on the desktop. This is automatically turned on when you use a background other than .bmp. Such as .jpg or .gif.

Change your theme to "Windows XP", then change your background back to that.

Jugernot already helped me fix it. His method worked.
