looks as if you might have had some malware, try changing your background picture to niothing.
if that doesnt work.
open control panel
open display
click on desktop tab
then customise desktop
then web tab
and remove all options other then other then my current homepage
take tick out of my current homepage (unless already unchecked)

I'm going to move this over to the Am I Infected forum where you can get some expert advice....

What I'm having to do to resolve the issue is remove "SafeMode" from the following....

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Scheme]
"Display"="SafeMode"

Then logoff.
