No error messages and my setting are not grayed out. When I try to change the
background colors come up and It wont let me pick any pictures or any of the
sample pictures. I went to ease of access and made sure nothing was check and
still cant change my background. I called for help but they just set up
another user. I need all the stuff I put through this user... Any suggestions?
