"Desktop" tab gone from display properties

My brother's computer has had some serious virus/spyware infections. I've managed to clean it up pretty good except the "desktop" tab is missing from the display properties.

Does anyone know how to get it back?
 
hmm. my display properties doesn't have a 'desktop' tab. in win2k (work computer), i have:

background, screen saver, appearance, web, effects, settings

...in that order. i can post back once i get home to check my win xp setup if you wish.
 
The tabs are back again, but I can't choose a desktop picture from the window. The scroll bar doesn't work either. I can change the color of the desktop, though.
