Changing background
Recently I have been unable to change my desktop background. Right clicking
and setting as background does nothing. If I try desktop properties the only option available is to change colour. I can't even click to change to one of the backgrounds that are part of windows. Can someone please help. |

By default, users can use the Desktop tab of Display in Control Panel to add a background design (wallpaper) to their desktop. If you enable this setting, the Desktop tab still appears, but all options on the tab are disabled. Go here... http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm 142. Right hand side.
