    desktop background disabled

    i have a new laptop, and it's been working fine-- until the other day when i
    suddenly didn't have my desktop background pic any more-- so i went to the
    control panel to check it-- and got a screen saying that "this feature has
    been disabled" and to see the computer administrator, which i thought was
    ME.....??? also... i suddenly no longer have TABS...which i use alot....and
    my menu bar is always showing...i usually have it hidden...when i go to
    "tools" and check my toolbars....the "menu" is no longer on there...so i do
    not have the option of hiding it now.....?? this is some bizzare
    stuff...never seen anything like this....HELP!

    For the desktop background problem, you can try this:

    Control Panel (Classic view) > Ease of Access Center > "Make the computer easier
    to see" link > assure that the "Remove background images (where available)"
    checkbox is NOT checked.
