what are you doing when this appears?

Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup.

What OS?

sorry, still don't see it. Is there an error message that comes up?

What exactly is appearing? is it a message to restore active desktop?

if so, what are choices, just trying to know exactly what you are seeing.

you can disable active desktop if you would like to, this would prevent from coming up, try this to see if this would go away and if you are not happy with results, all you have to do is run this file again and it will enable the desktop recovery again - just a small tool that enable/disbales the service with a click

go to this page and go to line 16 and click on it and then save it to your PC and then run the program and that's it, takes 2 sec

Troubleshooting Windows XP, Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP

Again, you can reverse what this does just by running the program again

see if any of this helps

Quote:
Put your cursor on a blank spot on the Active Desktop Recovery Error page, do a right click, and select Properties. Select the Desktop tab, then select whatever image you want as your desktop image. and see if message comes back
I think I may know, but not sure

Similar to above quote - I'm pretty sure this should do it, hopefully
Restore Active Desktop Not Working ? | Anything, but not Everything

Just go to your display settings and change your desktop backround and click apply * hopefllly as easy as this
