There is a picture that is always on the display screen that I can;t get rid of. It looks like a leaf or a banana. It must be a preloaded photo as I never put any on there. It still functions, but I can't change modes or browse the library et al

Memory (picture) chips or leaf connections around screen. The leaf connections are not always solid at the factory. I have seen videos where people use foam to press leaf connections to contacts. Frame or cover holds Foam in place.

You can get rid of the information screen by pressing the [i] button at the bottom left. However you'll still have to use the viewfinder to take your photos. Nikon didn't allow the LCD to be used for LiveView until they introduced the D3 and D300 a year after the D60.

If the screen is damaged it must be replaced, but before you consider that make sure there is no secondary problem.

You still need to get rid of the pics on the internal memory. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, insert your card and it should work properly.

Sounds like you're in "macro" mode. There should be a button on the camera with the leaf icon. If you push it repeatedly, watch the screen for the leaf icon to disappear.

That's the icon for "macro" or close-up photos. There should be a button with a picture of the leaf or a mountain on the back of the camera. You didn't say what model camera you have.

Lines across photo's or over exposure Is due to the shutter not closing correctly. Common cause for this is moisture fouling the shutter leafs. It only has to be a very tiny amount to cause an obstruction. If you turn on your camera and turn the flash off face the lens towards you and look at the lens in the middle you should be able to see the shutter fire across the lens when you take a picture. I know its small but you should be able to spot if there is a gap ( may not be very big) where the shutter leafs meet. What you need to do is remove the lens unit from the camera, dis engage the zoom motor ( the motor nearest the front lens) then remove the main lens to access the zoom lens and remove that aswell. Behind it is the shutter. Undo the screws for the retaining plate, remove the plate, and then remove the shutter leafs for cleanning with lens cleaner or anything that will clean without leaving a residue. And remember not to touch the leafs after cleaning, use tweezers.

i am assuming that you are not talking about the "shooting info display on page 9 of the manual.
if it is the Photo info (sounds most likely) you can change that display by scrolling you can change your display by using the multi selector. From that screen i believe you hit the left tab by the okay key twice. Play around. when you get the display you want. just leave it alone and they will all display that way. That happened to me during a soccer game.. very frustrating.. see no way to lock it.

This is sometimes caused by banana. Did you have any banana impacted into the ports of your computer?

More seriously, it's either the screen or the motherboard. Usually it's the screen. Replacements can be had on eBay and you can look up how to do the swap online. Alternatively you can contact someone on craigslist or through classifieds that works on computers. Shops like Best Buy and the Apple Store will charge you about 5x what it's worth to swap out a screen.
