Missing desktop

This is a problem which has been with me ever since I've been using XP. I don't know what I done, but for the past 3 or 4 months it had disappeared and everything worked smoothly. I had to reinstall XP after a minor cockup and now it's back to haunt me.

I've attached a screenshot of my desktop for your reference. Basically, after working with XP for about 5 mins I lose 90% of my wallpaper and a grey block appears covering up my entire screen including the icons. Also note the unamed folder which has appeared in the task bar?

Any ideas what this could be related to and how to fix it?

Regards.

Yes, that is one way. Or just enable the XP Luna theme.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
