Alright, here's the situation-

About 7 months ago, my PC got knocked out during a lightning storm. when it came back on, all things were gone: Internet, Word, Powerpoint, My Pictures, Everything. We finally got everything back on, working nice and back to normal. Only one thing:

My PC won't show backgrounds for the internet.

My PC is a Dell Dimension 2400, with Verizon DSL. Is there anyway I can get backgrounds and Icons to appear on the net again? Let me know if you need a screenshot as a visual idea.

Have you tried, y'know, running system restore?

For that matter, have you tried reinstalling your browser? Or if it's internet explorer, download firefox?
