Desktop Icons - Can't align to grid/Auto-arrange

My desktop icons are aligning on the left of my desktop. When I try to move them, they snap back to where they were.

So, I tried right-clicking the desktop thinking I would uncheck "Align icons to grid". That option was not checked, and neither was "Auto arrange icons". I then tried checking each of them and found I can't check or uncheck the options.

Any thoughts or ideas? I've combed through this forum and others to no avail. Thanks!
