Hi and welcome to D-A-L

where is the picture on your machine?

if you've got it on the machine just right click on the picture and you should see in the menu Set as Desktop Background just click on that ans it should be you desktop

hi again
i have the picture in my pics file and yes ive done as you have said and nothing happens
when i try to take a pic off an internet site i get the restrictions message
i have had this problem since i had to do a full system recovery a few weeks ago maybe thats were my problem lies
oh to pc literate !!!

can you change the background by going start......Settings........Control Panel ....Display....Desktop?

have you got admin rights?

why did you need to do a system restore, did you have a virus or spyware on your machine?
