412386 2005-12-13 02:15:00 I am attempting to fix some faults on a friends PC, and one problem is that the desktop Background is 'locked' on an advertisement for the Movie 'Narnia'
When I go to Desktop Properties other backgrounds are listed but they can't be accessed...nothing happens when you click on them.

Also...after booting the PC a message comes up when the desktop loads ..

VCMain.exe Application Error

Can anyone help with these problems?
