No tab in control panel to open "background" or "screen saver"

[Guest Gymkhana Sensei]

Recently I got the "blue screen of death" and since then, I lost my

background tab and my screen saver tab and cannot change either one. I

purchased the windows live one care package and that didn't help to fix this

problem. How do I find out if they have been erased? Or are they just

hidden? Is there a way to reload them? Or would I have to take my comp to a

technician and have them reload windows.

 

thanks

Did you tried System Restore in Safe Mode to an earlier date?

 

Can we have the exact wording/verbatim of the error please!

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it

later for this step to copy the error message on it.

Open a run command and type in:

eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.

click on each of these:

Application

System

Security

Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow

exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the

causer.

On the Event error properties message you will see:

Up Arrow

Down arrow

Two pages

Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad

you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from

the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.

Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Maybe one of these:

Line 51. ScreenSaver Disable/Enable or Tab Missing

Line 128. (r-h column) Restore Desktop and Screensaver Tabs

Line 142. (r-h column) Allow Wallpaper/Background Changes - Disable

Line 227. (r-h column) Restore/Enable Screensaver Tab Settings/Display

Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.

He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.

He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.

As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.
