UNSOLVED
Installing
I'm having problems activating my properties option. When I right click on my screen and click properties nothing happens. I also tried to access it through my desktop, but once again nothing happens. As a result I can't set my background, or my screen saver. Is there any way to install the properties back into my computer. Thank You

Hi schais1,
What ever may be the Windows Version, restart your computer, keep hitting F8, you would get Windows Advanced Options, Select Safe Mode and hit Enter, the system would load Windows. Check with the properties in this safe mode, if you are unable to view the properties, then if there is System Restore available, then try that as well. Otherwise, you might have to reinstall the Windows Version.

schais1,
Go to Start|Control Panel and see if you have an icon for Display (I suspect you will not). The control panel files are system files (with the extension cp_ in the I386 folder) and you can replace missing system files by going to Start|Run, typing sfc /scannow and clicking OK. You will be prompted to insert your Windows reinstallation CD.

It would be quite helpful to know which version of Windows you are running. With that information, someone may be able to suggest a solution to your problem.
