The term "sandboxing" is used for running software in a separated environment (a "sandbox") where it can't change system settings, at least not permanently. From your description, it seems unlikely that you're using it.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks Hans. I had never heard of it so I feel safe in agreeing that I am not using it.

Well it has been some time since I started this thread but wanted to finally be able to post a solution that has worked for me. I really didn't want to run any third party programs in order to have the Wallpaper and Desktop I wanted so I just lived with what was happening until one day I asked the fellow who builds my computers why I couldn't get the desktop as I wanted. He then downloaded the latest video driver for my devise and ever sine it has worked as it should.
