Missing Display Properties
Hello,
I have installed a new video card Matrox Millennium P750. Now if i try to do something real simple, like change the desktop background picture, i right-click on the desktop to bring up the contextual menu but... After clicking on "properties" i only get 2 tabs, where there are usually 4 or 5. So i can only change the screen saver and dual-monitor settings. The tab where you can usually change the desktop pic is gone and so is everything else... is there a way to restore it? I had a problem with the active desktop and my image had dissapeared, must have clicked on something by mistake? thanks. |

Problem solved!
In case anyone is looking for the fix, here goes: Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System If there is a DWoRD Value such "NoDispScrSavPage" with a data value of 1 this will disable the screen saver tab. Change the value to 0 or delete it to see the tab again. i see that you have the screensaver tab but see if there is anything else that looks like it is for the other tabs |
