Well, the option to turn it _off_ is greyed out. It seems it is turned
on, but the window is greyed out and can't be changed. That is
strange.

I know I've seen this option on another computer and it was
changeable, so this could be a clue to the problem. This is a second
hand machine and there could be some non-standard configuration. How
would I make this option available again?
