My Display Properties window loads up properly but the little menus "Desktop & Screen Saver" are missing it only shows (Themes, Appearance & Settings) I can only set a desktop background manually by right-clicking on a picture & it all happened because of a virus getting into my laptop & because of that the background changed to a virus warning background, Since then it's like that. I have changed the background but i need the menus. Someone please help me out.
Thanks.
Please click on the "Prework" link below in red on my signiture and copy and paste results back here on your thread.So our security team can help you out.
Check the following Reg Key:
HKey_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System
Delete the keys "NoDIspBackgroundPage" and "NoDispScrSavPage"
That will restore those options, but you probably are infected with a MalWare. At some point recently, did your desktop picture change to a warning that you were infected? That was the MalWare showing itself.
I pulled these steps from another site:
1. Opened task-manager and killed the active lphcp*********.exe process
2. Deleted (SHIFT+DELETE) all the temporary files from C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Temp
3. Deleted (SHIFT+DELETE) the following files from C:\windows\system32: phcp********.bmp, lphcp********.exe and blphcp********.scr. Got 'em by sorting the files in C:\windows\system32 by the 'last-modified date
