Right-click anywhere on a blank part of the desktop. A menu will pop up. Select PROPERTIES. Click the tab marked DESKTOP. Select the background you want from the scroll list, and click APPLY.

Try this  (1) Right click your mouse (2) Select properties (3) Select setting (3) Where it says  screen area move the slider till it says 1024 by 768 pixels, then where it says colour select True colour (24bit). This worked for me. If this don't work then try this, Load Windows M.E disc and start it to install, you won't loose any thing that is already on your computer, but you may have to re-install some updates, as this resets all the Windows settings.\n Hope this helps

I don't know if you can download it but you may be able to re-install it from the Windows disc.  I work in PC repair and Dell's always come with a Windows disc. Perhaps you have misplaced it.  They are usually red (magenta) and say Operating System Recovery or something similar.  Alternatively, I found this freeware panit program that may work for you.

Go to tools in your browser, click Internet options.  Then at the bottom of the window click colors.  Make sure that the box for windows colors is checked.  Hopefully that should put  you back on track.  Please let us know OK???

Copy the picture file to your C:&#92;Windows folder and then right click on the desktop, click on properties and click on the desktop tab of Display Properties.  You will now find it listed there under backgrounds.

http://www.dr-hoiby.com/TrayIconIn256Color/index.php\n\nI dont know if you should trust the link above. Another guy said using the activx component at the page fixed his tray icon problem. i would try to do it manually though with a hex editor. the fix however is only to make the icons 256 colours, whichi isn't high colour.\n\nI am not sure this is what you are looking for, but i am assuming your desktop enviroment is already running in 16 or 32 bit color.

It happen because of load on the computer. Here you refresh you computer desktop. How, right click then click on the refresh.\nSecond way, Change your desktop option, meaning background and front style and index etc etc. \nChange the look of your desktop then that dark blue will go away.\nAnd after doing all this restart your computer.
