Answer #11

go to Start >> Run >> type 'regedit' >> hit ok, or press return
Now once you do you need to navigate to this folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
If you see any of the keys below: NoDispCPL, NoDispBackgroundPage, NoDispScrSavPage, NoDispAppearancePage, or NoDispSettingsPage then DELETE THEM, or change their values from 1 to 0.
Values Restricting Access to Display Properties
NoDispCPL - Disable Display Control Panel. If the value is set to 1, the Display Properties property sheet is not accessible.
NoDispBackgroundPage - Hide Background Page. If the value is set to 1, the Background property page on the Display Properties property sheet is hidden.
NoDispScrSavPage - Hide Screen Saver Page. If the value is set to 1, the Screen Saver property page on the Display Properties property sheet is hidden.
NoDispAppearancePage - Hide Appearance Page. If the value is set to 1, the Appearance property page on the Display Properties property sheet is hidden.
NoDispSettingsPage - Hide Settings Page. If the value is set to 1, the Settings property page on the Display Properties property sheet is hidden.
