I called a coworker and he sent me this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=921049
Apparently this was a registry issue. I followed the instructions and now have my Wallpaper back!!
WOO!!

I need your help, Peeps.
I'm stumped.
I've lost the ability to put a wallpaper on my desktop.
I (normally) use the Webshots wallpaper program. You can Ctrl + Shift + W to change the wallpapers or you can go into the program and change it there.
When I Ctrl+Shift+W, it acts like its activating a wallpaper--but I still get a blank screen background.
I cannot choose a picture on my desktop and right click it to make it my wallpaper--and when I go to Display Properties and choose Desktop--its frozen. It won't let me choose a wallpaper.
I can change the color of the background and I can move my icons around...I just cannot put a wallpaper up.
WTH, Peeps??
Any ideas?

Hrm. I'm stumped too. I normally go to a blank spot on my desktop, right click and choose personalize (customize in my older computer) and somewhere in there I can find a display option for wallpaper.
But I have no idea what you are using, and I'm not that computer smart. Sorry. Hope somebody helps you soon!
OMG I cannot stop laughing at that picture
glad you have a brain to pick- I wouldn't have gotten that either!
Yah - we just got that circulated at work on our in-house mailing list.... nice to have techs helping techs! :D
Glad you got it!
Having a good weekend?
Hugs and many scritches for my favorite Kat
