computer programming...(I think)

[mwaza]

I recently got a computer. It was sold to my friend from her work... since it is a work computer there is a default backround and screensaver. I have tried to change them but all the areas are greyed out so i cannot select them.. All i want is to have a personalised computer.. What must I do to be able to change it??? please help me.. Thanks a mil.

You need to get admin privileges to do that. It sounds like that system is still set up in a 'business account mode.'

I would just try to reinstall windows for security reasons. You have no idea what has happened to that computer while it was in use, and it would be best to give it a fresh install.

Yeah. A fresh install would allow you to access full admin accounts and other options.
