Just save it as a JPEG file.. Or cut it into half and post the picture again or try minimize all the programs your running and make a screen shot again. And how much bytes is the file?

Can you try change your desktop background picture? And see weather the white is still there or not?

Yes it is it stays in place when you change the desktop theme it gos away when you activate a screen saver but is always there
uninstalled & reinstalled a new download this morning to see if that would clear it but no luck

The white block left behind seems a poor memory (video) management...
How much RAM do you have?

Ok... it's very few for Windows XP... I think your computer is no refreshing the video correctly and left behind that white mark... Sorry, I can't see other solution than:
1. Adding more RAM.
2. Refreshing your wallpaper (right clicking the desktop area).

Change your desktop wallpaper twice and, probably, it will correct.
I know this is a pain... but I can't figure out how to solve... sorry.

I know that the white block is annoying but it doesnt cause any problem to your computer.
Just leave the white block there or change your desktop wallpaper as Tech said.
