Have you installed any programs that could of made this happen? have you tried to restart your computer?

Not sure how to post a screenie...
1) Hit Print Screen or Print Scrn on your keyboard
2) Open Paint and go Edit -> Paste
3) Go File -> Save as and make sure "Saev File as" has got JPEG and press save
4) unload the images here using the attachment feature.

No restart necessary. Just go CTRL+ALT+DEL -> Processes tab -> Kill "explorer.exe"
Hip hip hurrah for taskmgr.exe!!!
EDIT: they're both the same, though, aren't they?
