you could try to system restore your computer. its on the control panel--> performance and maintanence. the left hand column has see also, system restore. otherwise i don't know how. i'm not even sure the restore works..=/ \n\nor you could just try to find the background again. but that might take awhile =(\ngood luck.

Sometimes system restore is more of a pain than it is worth. There are several ways, but the easiest is to do a search for the document or program you want. If that does not work, I would do another restore to another time. Another way is to go to mycomputer and click on the drive and search through to the folder you want.\n Hope that helps.

Nothing to worry, dont panic. Use system restore. Go to start, programs, accessories, system toos and system restore. Try to uninstall the program which u installed last. Did u do any upgradation.

First, right click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and hit open. Check to see if the files are still there and right click on them to restore them.\n\nIf the Recycle Bin has been emptied, use this free program:\nhttp://www.download.com/PC-Inspector-File-Recovery/3000-2248_4-10118664.html?tag=lst-0-6\nIf the files have been overwritten you will be out of luck.

No, once the file itself is deleted you can not get it back by clicking on a 'list' of files. That is what your history is, a list of places, things.

You will find all your default wall papers of windows XP in 'C:&#92;windows&#92;web&#92;Wallpaper' folder. if the Folder itself is missing you may have to do a inplace upgrade of the windows xp or a repair installation. Please Reffer Microsoft KB to complete the repair/inplace upgrade\nThanks

Sounds like something is off. I hope you don't have a virus. Maybe your color scheme is set improperly.\n\nTo better answer this question, you need to tell us what operating system your using and when did you notice the change. Also it would help if you remember what you did with your PC around the time when you noticed the change.

Well the link to Paint may be gone, but it still could be on your computer itself.   Check the following location:\n\nC:&#92;WINDOWS&#92;System32\n\nor\n\nC:&#92;WINNT&#92;System32\n\nlook for a program called mspaint.exe
