Control Pannel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance Settings
Then tick 'Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop' , and click Ok.

Go on your display properties and set it to 32bit colour. Should fix it. Remember this happening to my PC when XP first came out. Did loads to fix it, and in the end it worked. Judging by your icons, you may have some internet content on your background too. If so, disable it.
