I can't change the desktop background or colour
Hi, I am having a problem with Control Panel.
I right clicked and opened display, tried to change the background and colour but it won't do either - basically I choose the one I want and click on 'apply' and it doesn't happen. It always used to work - have I done something to it? Thankyou! |
