can't change desktoptheme in desktopmanager

[Margah]

After uninstalling a desktop thema I can't change the picture on my desktop.
The choosebotton stays grey and I can't select another picture or theme.
I work with OS XP Home SP2

Is there anyone who can help me with this problem.

Thanks
margah

a) Registry fix-Automated :

--- or ---

b) Manually (XP -Pro) :
1. Start > Run > gpedit.msc
2. Under User configuration > Click [Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display\]
3. There will be a value named "Prevent changing wallpaper" > Set it to "Not Configured"

--- or ---

c) Manually (XP -Any) :
1. Open Regedit
2. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]
3. Double click the value named "NoChangingWallpaper" > Set it to 0
4. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]
5. Repeat Step 3
