When I right click on the desktop and get the display properties dialog box
and click on Desktop, I can not select any of the options for a new
wallpaper. The scrollbar is inactive and clicking on a backgroud options nos
nothing(they are inactive also). Can anyone suggest something to fix this?

I tried method 2 and 3 but they did not work. I can not try method 1 since I
do not have this computer connected to the Interner. I was preparing it to
give to a needed family and that connection was deleted.
