What do you mean by display picture ?
My guess : Wallpaper

Where are you changing that ?
I guess you are trying to change that from Display properties > Desktop but the
Background and Browse section is grayed out ?

Please tell that i am correct or not.

I'm searching for answers to a similar problem. If I open the "Display" in
control panel and try to change anything I lose my desktop picture and it
turns to gray. If I go into display /desktop I no longer have the option of
putting in pictures. I System Restore to get it back..............last pic
restores but picture option is still gone. I'll try to keep watching your
results.........Anyone??????
