I have a weird computer problem%2C and have decided to ask people here as there%27s a comment about that in the rules for this bit.%0D%0A%0D%0AI log onto my account on the family computer%2C and open a web browser. %28It doesn%27t matter which one.%29 All the backgrounds have gone. Gone%2C vanished%2C absent%2C not there at all. The JavaScript console for Firefox spews a load of errors at me. Hotmail looks like an Excel file.%0D%0A%0D%0AIf I leave the computer doing nothing with the browser running for about 20 minutes%2C then the backgrounds will be back as soon as I refresh the page. The issue is ONLY confined to my account on the computer. The computer is running XP Pro.%0D%0A%0D%0AAny ideas%3F%0D%0A_________________________________%0D%0A%0D%0A%22It%27s difficult keeping up with the cross-continuity%2C but I think Cosmouse just gave The Saturnian Scraphunter his Ultimate Pacifier to use against Galactapuss...%22

I believe the backgrounds for all web browsers are pretty much run by java%2Fjavascript. Since this is a windows computer%2C I would suspect the java engine %28virtual machine I believe%29 loaded into the op system. Try looking for an update at microsoft. The reason it is linked to your account could be a software one%2C since some programs and settings are user dependant. Have you installed or allowed anything to load recently%3F%0D%0A%0D%0A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%0D%0ARemember%2C two wrongs do not make a right%2C but three lefts do.%0D%0A%0D%0AI%27m really here%2C but I%27m not here%2C really.%0D%0A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%2A%0D%0ARCW%23665 the other neighbor of the beast

You might try running something like ad-aware or spy-sweeper or somesuch on your c%3A%5Cdocuments and settings%5Cyour-login folder to see if something along those lines is causing your problem.  Otherwise%2C if you%27re computer-savvy enough to know where the things you need live%2C you could try rebuilding your profile.
