Display Properties dialogue box problems

S

Sweaty Palms

Suddenly my display properties dialogue box doesn't work. Instead of
showing up with lots of tabs, it just appears with a theme. There are
no tabs. I can't change anything. How can I get it to work the way it
is supposed to work?

Read the instructions at the top
285. Right hand side
Restore All Display Tabs - Remove All Display Tabs & Icon
Click on
Restore All Display Tabs

restorealldisplaytabs.reg is the file that you want.

Then...

UPDATE your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

UPDATE whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.
