Yes, the synax is wrong. Firstly, you don't want to be pointing to something on your C drive. Then when you upload the site it won't be able to find the image.

The CSS rule should look something like this:

body {background: url('images/cat10.jpg') repeat;}

You shoudl also check those quotes in the font rules - I don't think the double quotes are proper form in CSS. You shouldn't need to quote font families anyway, the comma is enough to separate them properly.

Here's a reference: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp
