Last week I installed Windows XP SP2 to 5 computers. 2 of which I don?t have a problem (not yet), the other 3 pc I am wondering why I can not change the desktop background. The list of the backgrounds were there but I can not choose one of them it won?t let me even if I login as administrator.
So, I would like to know how to properly configure this? Is this normal to some pc? I wonder if the firewall is something to do with it? we have a router on our network. I would appreciate Tricks and Tips. Thanks!

If these are Intel CPU computers you'll need to apply the latest BIOS to get them to work properly and if they are older units even that may not fix the problems.

There are numerous known problems with SP2 all of which are listed on the MS Knowledge Base

This would be a good starting point for what you are facing at the moment and will most likely show you things that you have not yet encountered.
