I tried this morning to select a jpeg photo (8kb) into my desktop wallpaper using Irfanview. Now when I try to adjust the Windows XP desktop (using Display Properties screen, using either the right click on the screen, or via Control Panel) the display properties screen comes up but I cannot activate any of the tabbed menus, and Display Properties is not responding. When I try to close it the error message is 'rundll.exe not responding".
I have no idea what the problem is, imagine it might have something to do with the large picture file I set as dektop has interfered with memory or corrupted the display setup. Also I canot go back to earlier system restore point
Question. How can I use alternative means to disable my picture from the desktop or get rundll.exe running. Are there other Windows mechanisms to disable the picture and go back to previous standard wallpaper.
I'm in Windows XP, updated using Windows update, SP3, Quad-Core with 4mb RAM, anti-virus running etc.
