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!
