Thanks to all who have responded-- I am going to look at all the
suggestions, but before I received the helpful hints, I went to the ATI
website and went through the list on how to set up windows 98-- I think
everything was the same, but after I did that my desktop went back to
normal.  So, I think the prob was in the customize desktop section.  I also
found that there was wall paper on.
