Cannot Change themes in window 7 professional

I am having trouble trying to change the windows theme, or even the wallpaper for that matter, in my personalization screen. The themes are all in gray! I have checked the group policies in the user configuration and they are listed as not configured and disabled. Please help me figure out a way to fix this? I am the system administrator! Thanks

Start off with SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker restart and post back.

Hello DWC, and welcome to Seven Forums.


In addition to the Group Policy setting, also double check using the registry settings in the tutorials below to make sure that they are enabled. Hope this helps,
Shawn
