Guest Stoker Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 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? -- stoker
Guest Rey Santos Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 RE: Options have vanished without a trace.... 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. -- Rey "Stoker" wrote: > I had recently noticed that my screensaver, and desktop background options > were missing.
