After installing updates on Win XP machine, Desktop picture became stretched
over intire screen. When I went into Display Properties and clicked on the
display tab, I found everything ghosted and the slider bar for selecting
backgrounds was un-movable.

Rol-back the device driver for your video card and do not get hardware
device drivers from anyone but the manufacturer's of the actual product.
(Microsoft did not make your video card.)
