Exclamation Desktop background problem-

Hi guys, i got a problem i can't figure out. It just started happening today. My background goes to that annoying light blue screen, no picture. When i go into my properties to set the background, no matter what background i select and apply, nothing shows up, it just remains light blue color.

The error is shown in the attatchment.

Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object


Any help would be great, im gona continue to look for solutions, if i do ill update this thread. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but now I'm having the same problems. Has a solution ever been found for this? It's just a small thing, but it's annoying the hell out of me.

Thanks

Is that the thing where I'm suppose to uncheck that box under the Web tab. The "My current homepage"...I have that unchecked.

Oh yeah, I have Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed.
