Hi:

I am wondering if anyone could help me with this strange
proble.

I have installed windows xp pro. recently i added the
Service Pack 1. yesterday i had an atack from the Nachi
worm and the MSBlaster. They have been removed but now a
weird anomoly has arisen.

If i right-click on the desktop<click on propertie<and
click on either the Desktop or Themes tab and attempt to
select a JPEG image, the properties sheet just shuts down.
this is always happening. If I try to select a theme, the
theme parts are seen in the preview window, but not the
JPEG image background, instead the cursor hourglass shows
up and in seconds the properties sheet shuts down.

I tried to look into the policy editor with no luck, same
occurance. Is there a way to correct this problem?..it
would be nice again to preview my jpeg images before
loading them, but now windows does not allow me. I dont
think it is the group policy settings, but perhaps a
windows component that is corrupt.

any help appreciated

Jim
