Jenny, here's how to solve this trouble. when it says growl is in the background, go through windows by command+tab (i am not sure the voiceover command to switch among applications, ctrl+options+f1+f1, or double-tap with 2 finger to the left with trackpad, works) anyway: when you reach growl, it would say: growl has no windows then, go to the dock with ctrl+f3 or the dedicated voiceover command. look for the Growl icon, then, control+option+shift+m. you should find a menu popping up, and there you'd find the growl preferences! if the menu item is grayed, you should go up with up arrow and find reactivate growl I wasted one hour behind this issue!
