What graphics card do you have?

Try looking in the desktop > properties > advanced and see if your graphics
driver supplies you with a means to turn it off.

I have GeForce 4 MX 440... But I don't think it is related to graphic
card because many other people have the same problem!
If it was related to the graphic card then in Win 2k should be the same
problem but it it's not!

It is related to your graphics card, and to say that it didnt happen in
Win2K but did in XP, is to say that XP and Win2K are identical. I have XP
and 2k dual boot and some things will run one way and not the other. I also
have a GeForce vid card and I have the Anti-Aliasing set to "application
controlled" and never had a problem. All this trouble for wallpaper?

"Anti-aliasing" generally doesn't apply to things like wallpaper. It's used
in 3d mode for games and in 2d mode for fonts but not 2d mode for graphics
that I've ever seen. What you might be seeing is that the background image
for your desktop is being "stretched" larger or smaller to fill the screen
resolution. That will blur it considerably. Either clip or resize the image
to your desktop resolution yourself in Photoshop or something where you can
re "sharpen" it or use a better resizing filter, or turn off wallpaper
resizing. (Right click desktop/Properties/Desktop tab/Position Select
"Center" rather than "Stretch")
