You are looking at the Screen Saver page and not the Display page, correct?
If there is no tab on the Screen Saver page then run the system file checker
from an elevated command prompt.

Type CMD in Start/Search (do not hit Enter). Right click on the cmd icon in
the top of the menu. Select Run As Administrator. Type SFC /SCANNOW at the
prompt and hit Enter. There is a space after SFC.
