I am using Windows XP.

Tried many suggestions without success. Finally found fix by searching and
making modification in Registry. Go to registry: start, run, type in,
regedit.
Go to:
Hkey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurentVersion\policies\ActiveDesktop.
In right pane double click "NoChangeWallpaper" and change (1) to (0). Exit
Registry. Should be able to make changes to background now.
