Windows Backdrop Blues

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

In one presentation i have two items on a pull down menu:

Case "Show Desktop"
     set the backdrop to none
     break
   Case "Hide DeskTop"
     set the backdrop to 0,0,75
     break
This works just fine...

in another presentation decided to try a bit more:

using a single menu item which is toggled by the script:v

case "Show Desktop"
     set the backdrop to none
     show menubar
     show taskbar
     put "off" into gBackDropStatus
     put "Hide Desktop" into line 2 of me
     break
   case "Hide Desktop"
     set the backdrop to black
     put empty into gBackDropStatus
     put "Show Desktop" into line 2 of me
     hide menubar
     hide taskbar
     break

This does *not* work on  Windows XP home version, running on a HP 
pavillion notebook zd7000. Works fine on MAC OSX...

Any clues?
