Erm for backgrounds on vista right click on the picture and click set as background...
Or right click on desktop and click personalize... then desktop background.
You can right click on the picture itself and select "set as Desktop background"
Or:
Click on the Start menu button. Then click on Settings and then on Control Panel.
Double-click on the Display icon or text link. This will open a window named Display Properties.
Click on Background if that tab is not selected. Click on one of the items that appear in the box labeled Wallpaper.
Inspect the preview that appears above the Wallpaper menubox. Use the Display menu to the right to experiment with tiling, stretching or centering the picture that you are previewing.
Click on Browse to use an image stored elsewhere on your hard drive. Locate the image and click Open.
Click OK to change your background, or wallpaper. Click Cancel if you decide to maintain your current settings.
Click on this link or copy and paste the complete link into your browser.

Thanks for the help.
I've tried all that, but to no avail. I still only get grey squares.
Well, trying that comes my second problem, and probably related. My picturs aren't shown in the folder (same grey square) in large icons mode. If I change that in normal icons, they're shown. If I choose it to set as a background, a solid green color appears on the desktop. If I try the same using Picasa instead of out of the folder itself, the picture appears as background! But if I want to change it again, the same grey squares appear again. There's something wrong with displaying large icons, I guess, since the personalisation of the background is also in large icons. How can Picasa solve the problem and I (Vista) can't?
Could it be a problem with the Microsoft Office Picture manager? If I change - in the settings of the picture - to view it in the Picasa viewer, the picture is shown.

Uhm, I guess that solution is out of my league. How do I save the dll and where do I get a new one, and how do I install it?

Tried all that, fixed, cleaned, scanned, repaired. All to no avail, sorry.
