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

Re: desktop background

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?

Please follow the instructions >> Here << and then post your log in a new thread in the Spyware, Adware section. (Not here please). with a brief explanation of what the symptoms are.
