desktop background tab greyed out in the display properties panel

[Ext User(Urak)]

Hi
I need some help.

The desktop background tab is grayed out in the display properties panel.
O/s = winxp pro sp2


Recollected Why it happened:
Infected with spyware and virus after I downloaded a crack from a crack
website.

Action taken to clean:
lava soft adaware
spybot search and destroy
Microsoft anti spyware
AVG anti virus


Tried the following from kellys -korner-xp

restorealldisplaytabs.reg
restorethemes.reg

Still unable to restore the background Tab
Has anyone encountered such a problem and restored the background Tab?
Failed to restore to any earlier restoration point from system restore.

Is there any way to re install the "display properties " files from the XP
CD?

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
