Hey all. I'm sure that at least one stage we've got the error where your background dissapears and tells you to recover it. But why does this error surface? My FAQ will explain some of the reasons why the error may be casued.


"Internet Explorer has experienced a problem or error. As a precaution, your Active Desktop has temporarily been turned off. To start the Active Desktop again, use the following troubleshooting tips"

The Likely Causes

* Did you recently add an Active Desktop Item?

If so, the desktop component which was recently added to the Active Desktop may not be working properly. Internet Explorer disables the Active Desktop so you can remove the new component without the possibility of your computer crashing. Click 'Start' and select 'Settings'. Select 'Active Desktop' and select 'Customize my Desktop...'. Clear the check box to the left of the new Active Desktop component. If necessary, select the 'View my Active Desktop as a web page' check box. Click 'OK'.

* Internet Explorer has stopped working or crashed.

The Active Desktop causes Internet Explorer to become the new shell for Windows. If Internet Explorer crashes or stops working, the Active Desktop is disabled to prevent your computer from crashing. In the Active Desktop Recovery display, click 'Restore my Active Desktop'. The Active Desktop reappears.

* Computer was shut down incorrectly.

In the Active Desktop Recovery display, click 'Restore my Active Desktop'. The Active Desktop reappears.

I've seen this posted many times, so I hope this helps at least a few people. :)

Thanks for reading my FAQ!
