Missing backgrounds tab in display prop.

Comment:

Why is the backgrounds tab in display properties missing? I can't make any changes to the desktop background. This problem was in win 95. I upgraded to win 98 SE hoping it would correct the problem but it's still the same.

it sounds like a registry value which would carry over with an update look here http://www.onecomputerguy.com/registry_tips.htm#control_panel_restrictions Registry Help TheGorx

Try this first... Start - control panel - add/remove programs - hot the windows setup tab, 2x click accessories. Is there a check in the desktop walpaper box?
