SQL Agent Mail Issue

I am trying to setup my Agent mail. When I go to the properties of SQL Agent
the mail profile is grayed out completely. I have looked around but cant
find the answer. If anyone can shed some light I would greatly appreciate
it. Also, another thing is on my desktop machine is it not grayed out, but
on my new laptop it is.

Andre,

Test box? Try stopping and starting the SQL Server and SQL Agent services.

Also see:

Yes it is a test box. I tried restarting just the Agent service, but that
did nothing. I just cant understand why it is not grayed out on my desktop
but is on my laptop. What could be different? I will look at the links you
included also.
