=============================
I'm not sure what "stuck on our computer"
means but if you are referring to your Desktop
Background (wallpaper) or your Home Page...
the following articles may be useful:

Can you describe the "web page stuck" and what does that mean in layman's terms

"web page stuck" IS layman's terms

We need a technical description of the problem - one that is familiar to all
who know the operating system.

We are not inside the O/P's mind to know what *HIS* description really
means.

Richard.

For this I have learned to ask in reverse. Then you will get a sort of a technical answer. You have to put yourself in their shoes as most today with technical knowledge were exactly the same at one point. They then think and describe the problem a lot better

Good guess. Didn't even occur to me that that could be the case.

If so, in Internet Explorer, Menu Bar, (ALT if not visible), Tools > Internet
Options, General tab, Home page at top of window

Try changing your desktop wallpaper.

Right click an empty area of the desktop, select Personalize >Desktop
Background, and choose from the Location drop down list

Or Control Panel > Personalization (classic view)
