    if you have your background image with the other images in the /images folder of your theme (yes you have, just cheked this), then the slash / before inmages in your code should not be there –
    also if you use ‘background-image, then the location and repeat is not allowed in the same daclaration.
    try this:

    background: url('images/background2.png')  repeat-x top;

    for the comment text problem, you may need to paste a copy of single.php into a pastebin and post the linkt to it here for someone to have a look at it.

    try the absolute path to the background image: 

    body {
	text-align: center;
	background: url('http://flemingsdesigns.net/wp-content/themes/Sharpfolio2/images/background2.png')  repeat-x top;
	color: #999;
	font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
	line-height: 24px;
}
