This is very difficult to read.

When you open the Display Properties dialog box, either through Control Panel or
by right-clicking the Microsoft Windows desktop and clicking Properties, the Web/other
tabs may be missing. This behavior can occur if the DeskHtmlExt registry key is damaged
or missing To resolve this issue, reinstall Windows on top of your existing installation.
To do so, type a command line in the Run dialog box (on the Start menu), and use
switches to rebuild your system files without affecting hardware settings and schemes.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls Folder\Display\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\
The DeskHtmlExt key contains a "(Default)" value, which points to a class registry
key and a Tag value, which is a number unique to a particular computer. Or 1) click
'start' then 'run' 2) type in 'regedit' 3) a scary looking thing loads, on the left
there is a few folders named HKEY somethingorother, click HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then
'software', then 'microsoft', then 'windows' then 'currentversion', then click 'policies',
and finally click 'system' 4) 5 icons should now have appeared on the right (see
pic here: http://www.insomniafm.co.uk/upload/files/v...a/regedit1.JPG) 5) double
click the files NoDispBackgroundPage and NoDispAppearancePage and change their value
from 1 to 0 6) delete the file wallpaper REG_SZ 7) close regedit hopefully ive been
helpful
