OSX 10.3.8, Mac Mini, Samsung LCD to 9pin adapter (sorry i'm a PC guy)

When I change the desktop background to Solid Colors and choose a color it leaves a 100x100 color tile in the middle of the screen. OSX is not tiling the color all over the screen. Any Ideas?
 
The thing is, those "solid colors" in your desktop background list are actually graphics files stored in /Library/Desktop Pictures/Solid Colors. They are only 128x128 pixels in size.

So, either the contents of that folder are damaged or (more likely) something's happened to damage your preferences. Personally, I'd try deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and see if that solves the problem.
