"Disabled Display Control Panel"

Alright, so I'm using WinXP, and I'm still in the hatchling state of "computer geek". Everytime I try to change my screensaver or wallpaper, or pretty much anything on the desktop, the error I get is "The administrator disabled the Display Control Panel."

I feel like an absolute idiot, but I honestly don't remember changing this, and can't figure out how to fix it. Can someone please tell me what I screwed up?

    Are you logged in as a user which is apart of the Administrator group?

    Hi, check whether your user account is set to 'computer administrator'.

    Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Choose your user account > click 'change my account type' and at the top see what yours is set to.

    Hope that helps and good luck :)

    Thanks, guys! Yeah, my account is the administrator, and the guest account is set to off, so I wasn't accidently logged in under the wrong account. X\
