Options have vanished without a trace....

[Guest Stoker]

I had recently noticed that my screensaver, and desktop background options

were missing. I can choose a picture and assign it to background however the

tab in the properties section is missing as well is the screensaver

one.......anyone have any ideas?

Try this:

 

Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

 

Look in the right pane for a value called NoDispBackgroundPage. Change its

value to 0 (double click NoDispBackgroundPage). Do the same to

NoDispScrSavPage. Or you can right click the entries and select Delete.This

has the same effect as setting it to 0.

 

It happened because you were infected with malware. Perform scans if you

have not yet.

Careful; this guy is touting his own usually field-untested software.

Beware.
