If this is XPx86...

in I386 folder of your XP CD there is a file bliss.jp_ that you need to change.
1. take a .jpg file that you want to use as background and copy it to C:\
2. rename it to bliss(.jpg, of course) and open Command Prompt (cmd from Run)
3. type in the following command
makecab C:\bliss.jpg C:\bliss.jp_
and press enter
4. copy the bliss.jp_ file that you got in C:\ into I386 folder and that will become your default background when you install

That can only mean you didn't put bliss.jpg in C:\
Copy it in the root of C:\ (next to WINDOWS, Program Files, etc.) and try again.
If it doesn't work, upload the image somewhere and PM me for the location.

Cheers
