re: I've been taken over by Virus Alert Sunday, March 19, 2006 at 6:20 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jim Hickman (1 messages posted) I was hit with this virus, as well. I was able to get the virus out but have somehow lost control of my desktop background. In Display/Properties on the Destop tab, all the background image files appear but they are "grayed" out and you cannot select any of them. The desktop background is white and I have not found a way to change it.
