Since there have been no responses as of yet, I thought I'd elaborate on the problem.
I used Apple's Network Access Disk to boot the CC, then ran the formatting software (HD SC Setup 7.3.5) and the generic 7.1 installer. So the hard drive was wiped and a fresh system was installed. When the system install was finished, I popped the System Enabler into the System Folder, then restarted. Everything (but the desktop pattern) works just fine. When I go into the General Controls, I can cycle through the patterns, however when I click on the little desktop, the pattern simply refuses to change from the default grey. Now, even without a PRAM battery, should not the pattern be able to be changed? I know that the system is acknowledging the requests, because the hard drive will access when I click a different pattern. Could there be remnants of System 7.5.3 on the hard drive? Should I run some sort of drive wiping program and try reinstalling? Please let me know if I should provide more information, though I can't imagine what else to say.
