  original title: display problems (broken display properties window)

  Well, I have a truckload of display problems, many of them are probably related, but I will address these one at a time. I'll start with my display properties.

  When I open the display properties, I get this little window:

  Look at it carefully, it is supposed to look like this:

  http://img.Photobucket.com/albums/V371/battousaiofnphiles/screencaps/BrokenControlpanel2.jpg

  Now, whenever I start the computer I have to reinstall my display driver and reset my display properties. When you reset my 600x800px at 1440 x 900 screen, I have to select one click on the theme 'Apply' before I give myself the tabs to set different individual elements of the screen and click 'Apply' to effectively apply my desired settings.

  Now I have a Vid card for replacement in the mail which I think should solve the forced back on the display driver, but I'm confident that's not going to solve the problem of display properties broke.

  * EDIT *.
  I'm running on Windows XP Professional SP3.

  Original question is resolved. I open a prompt of commands and regsvr32 /i shell32 then restarted and enter regsvr32 themeui. My gfx card is always failing to start, but once started, the tabs are back where they belong.

• Windows 8: the Page out of the display properties dialog box

  Disappointed.

  Serious problems trying to use the Muse of 2014. I don't know that there is a ready version of GoLive.

  Windows 8.1

  Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.40 GHz

  8.00 GB

  64 bit

  Membership of creative cloud

  Adobe Muse 2014

  I can only see the bottom right of the Page Properties dialog box.

  This occurs on all pages, including the new (fresh) masters and Pages.

  Sometimes I really have to 'Start' to move a cursor in a user interface control... it's annoyiinnnggg

  I won't be able to use the Muse 2014 until I get this resolved. I would appreciate your help as I am looking forward to the last version...

  Thank you

  Set your display to scale to 100% or 150%. Muse 2014 is incompatible with how Windows 8 and 8.1 reach 125% implemented nationally.

• Missing location tab in the display properties file

  Trying to move folders user since the boot partition to a partition on another disk drive, I used Windows Explorer to select the folder and then choose the properties option and the tab location.  This works for some files but not others.  In the screenshot below, you will see that there is no tab location for my folder of music among users, but there is a tab of Acronis.  Is it because I made a backup of the folder Acronis earlier?  If this is not the case, why is there no tab location.

  Because I move the user files to reduce the size of the boot partition to fit comfortably on a disk solid state drive (SSD), I need to be certain that future additions and actually records the files go to the partition on another drive.  How can I determine that I have this change of location made correctly?  I don't want to install the SSD and suddenly discover that data download, Document, music, photos and videos are always written to the boot partition?

  You can check and change the relocation of user folder in the registry.  I also had to make what I screwed up moving my music - your missing tab folder implies that you did the same thing.

  See my post in http://answers.microsoft.com/message/c538bb2b-6800-45d0-b39a-31444b2c530e of Section 1 of my post deals with the standard way of doing [what you have done already].  Section 2 describes the audit & changing everything in the registry.

  I can't comment on the question of Acronis you inquires also.

• How to REMOVE a photo in the background picture in the list of background photo in the display on my computer properties?

  I have a picture in my LIST of BACKGROUND PICTURES under the PROPERTIES of my computer DISPLAY area and the photo is named WINDOWS LIVE PHOTO GALLERY.  I WOULD LIKE TO BE PERMANENTLY DELETED.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?  I use Windows XP.

  Hello

  You can try these:

  a. go to the start menu and select desktop or double-click top from the desktop.

  b. go to the Tools menu, select options and then select option files and hidden folders.

  c. navigate to the folder... \Windows\. If you are presented with a warning about the change of system files, click on the link "View files" to continue.

  d. look in this folder for the background name you want to delete. If this is not the case, try looking in these places:

  i. Windows\Web\Wallpaper directory

  II. the "My pictures" folder This inside "My Documents".

  III. If you are using Internet explorer, it can be stored in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet explore

  e. If you still haven't found it, go into the Start Menu search. Click "all files and folders" and enter the name of the background to locate.

  f. When you have located the file, you can either delete or move to a new folder. Try to create a folder named Backgrounds moved. If you move the file into the new folder, it will be removed from your list, but still available on your PC if you change your mind.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

• My screen Display Properties lack the screen saver tab?

• How to remove images or themes from the list of display properties for selected wallpapers?

  Well they are. When I go into the Control Panel, click or select the display icon, I come to the display properties.  Kind of dumb pictures obtained in the list of display properties.  I want to remove them from the list.  I n my ending is never trying to clean my computer, I want to delete these images and selected icons.  I really don't remember adding photos to the list of display properties for desktop. But they are there

  You must move the image files where they are now (probably in my pictures). Windows XP retrieves files image from the following paths:

  C:\WINDOWS BMP files

  The files BMP, JPG, GIF, JPE, DIB, PNG, HTM from the following locations:

  C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
  C:\Documents and Settings\photos \My Documents\My [& ALL THE sub FOLDERS]
  C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet explore
  C:\Program Files\Plus! \Themes [* & ALL subfolders *]

  So for example, if the 'silent pictures' are in your My Documents\My Pictures folder (or a folder in my pictures) and you want to keep them, just move them to the folder My Documents of parent instead. If you don't want to keep them, just delete the files.

• How to set properly contrast of the display on a Satellite A200 - 19L

  Dear all,
  Day before yesterday I bought a Toshiba A200 - 19L.
  When I play DVDs and movies, as well as photos I look at the picture is very pale, no contrast.
  I asked already brightness with FN/F5 I think (Ido has no computer available here now)
  The images become darker, but not contrast.
  It remains very pale.
  What can I do?
  There are some parameters that influence the contrast?
  To my old Satellite, movies are excellent and light brilliant.
  Will I put the new machine on scrap and go back to my old?
  Regarding
  Siegfried

  Hello

  in a first time, you must make your screen brighter. You can make it work with pressing Fn + F7 (I think that Yes, there should be a symbol with triangle showing the tip upwards and a bit of sun/light bulb).

  Then, you should go to the display properties and there should be an option in the advanced settings that control the contrast. Just pay attention to this point.

  Give some feedback if you have achieved some success...

  I understood that... I was using my laptop in a docking station and all the settings are correct.  When I removed my laptop from the docking station, large fonts has been selected in the display properties.  Change cela Normal fonts and re-stowage has solved the problem.
