How can I stop the XP change my selections to display on each reboot?

I select the appearance of the classic view and no screen saver.  After a restart, XP changed the XP default settings that I don't want these back.  I need help changing the settings from XP.  Video card is a GEFORCE 6200 AGP from NVIDIA.  The system is a Pentium 4 3 GHz with ASRock P4V88 motherboard.

This looks like a corrupted user profile.  When Windows detects a damaged when connecting user profile, it creates a temporary profile that is used until you log out, date on which it is removed and all of your modified preferences are lost.  You can confirm this by creating a new user on your computer, log in as a new user, and if this problem does not apply to this user, then you have a problem of corrupted profile.

Recovery is quite simple.  The following procedure describes the steps:
"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"

Since the corrupt profiles are usually accompanied by corruption in the disk file system, as soon as a disk check would also be justified.  Do a 'chkdsk' with the /f or/r option.  Audit will be conducted at the next reboot of the system.  Fair warning: usually, a full disk check takes between 2 and 4 hours and cannot be interrupted.  Suggest to perform during the night or when you won't need your machine for awhile.

  • How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock

    How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock... I am new to windows 8 and I do not... I much prefer to have windows 7 return... any suggestions?

    I preached this whole week... my pleasure to increased win8 x 100 once I turned off the edge of the touchpad scan function.  The path may be slightly different, but the synaptics touchpad is the Control Panel / hardware and audio / mouse / device settings / settings / edge shot - and disable "enable edge scans".

    This prevents context changes maddening when browsing the web or doing anything on the touch pad really... you can always access the charms on the right upper or lower, and you can always access history FRO the top left corner after that you disable this... but it is much more controlled.
    hope this helps

  • How can I stop the last post showing when I want to send this person a new Imessage.  I have an Iphone 5s

    How can I stop the last post showing when I want to send this person a new Imessage.  I don't want an old conversation appears constantly when I am a Messenger contact.  I have an Iphone 5s

    I don't know, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. You do not want to see the thread you have with a particular contact when you go to send them another message? The only way to do this is to remove the previous message thread. If you send a message to someone that you already have a thread of conversation with, it will continue to post in this thread. There is no such thing as having multiple threads with the same person. All conversations with the same person would remain in the same thread, unless you remove the previous discussions. If you delete your previous conversation, when you go to start a new conversation, he won't have any of the other answers.

  • How can I stop the virtual keyboard appear gestures?

    Hello

    How can I stop the virtual keyboard to appear coincidentally in my game? There is no reason for the player to use the keyboard for the game, so I want to disable it.

    My current solution is to wait for the NAVIGATOR_KEYBOARD_STATE with the NAVIGATOR_KEYBOARD_OPENING State and by calling virtualkeyboard_hide(). But which causes the keyboard to appear a few pixels down before disappearing again.

    Is there a way of elequent more disable the gesture of virtual keyboard?

    Thank you

    Claudine

    I'm afraid, is not possible. If BlackBerry Advisor does not fix me don't waste your time on this. If a user low blows to the left of the keyboard is displayed regardless of your application.
