White square in desktop

I have suddenly acquired a 2cm x 2cm white square in my blue windows 2000 desktop backdrop and I can't get rid of it. Has anyone experienced the same and if so what was it and how did they get rid of it?
 
Would you kindly provide a screenshot? You can make one by pressing Command + Shift +3 and a .png file will appear on your Mac desktop. Any thoughts on what may have caused this corruption (say, maybe you installed some software or tampered with settings/drivers/etc. just before this square popped up) will also be much appreciated.
 
I cannot recall doing anything different but patently I must have done something (or allowed something). Sorry I can't be of more help

How do I insert the screen image into a post here? When I click on the "insert picture" icon it asks for a URL and doesn't give me the opportunity to browse and point to a file on my desktop

(From my replies you can tell I am very much a MAC novice)

Is this what you're experiencing (see attached screenshot)? I have had it since the upgrade to PD4.0, and it is very annoying. Nothing makes it go away.

I altered the Virtual memory and that fixed it - thank you John. It turned out to be a stuck screen for Internet Express
