blank desktop background

I have tried to remove 'flash.10.exe' popup during startup by loading
'combofix' thru bleeping.cc but failed due to program interrupted & causing
blank background. My question is how to restore the photos back to normal?

RE: blank desktop background

At the moment the'flash.10' still in the startup registry, other function
seems like normal. currently I can't get any photos for my pc
background(black) as well as blank photo in other files. I wish somebody
could help me to give some clues on what to do next..

Well, I don't know what most of that post means, but if you right click
on your desktop, select properties, you'll see a drop-down menu. If that
is set to "Solid Colors", that's your problem. Just set it to "Pictures"
and you can use pics as backgrounds again.
