Windows XP Display Properties

Generally due to a virus attack, sometimes some pages under Display Properties are no longer available.
Run Regedit and search for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\

Remove keys, if they are present

NoDispAppearancePage
NoDispBackgroundPage
NoDispScrSavPage
NoDispSettingsPage

Now the Display Properties should be OK.

If, also the Task Manager is grayed out, there is a chance to find this key too

DisableTaskMgr

that must be removed.
