Dragging windows setting Changed?

[Guest]

A setting has changed? Now when I hold down/drag a window to another location
- I only see the bounder outline of the window, while dragging. How come? I
used to see the the entire contents of the window while dragging it.

Control Panel > Display Properties > Appearance tab > Effects button >
checkmark in 'Show window contents when dragging'

Many people prefer to see only the outline since displaying the entire
window uses additional RAM, which slows your computer.

Leonard Grey, Thanks. I hope you come back this way and read this. I used to
know that setting but its been awhile since exploring, 'Display', Settings &
options.

This UNacknowledged, change, occured immediately after I had run a,
'Register Fixing,' program. Interesting, as it had initially blocked me from
opening any of the applications in the Control Panel altogether. So, this
doesn't surprise me now.

I only resorted to the, 'Register Fixing,' program because of chronic
Lock-ups/Crashes, because running a program like that is very, very risky.

The best advice you'll get in these newsgroups is to stay away from
programs that claim to 'fix' your registry.

That's correct. Using a registry cleaner is very risky and that's why
you should never run such a program. Besides, whatever your problems
were, it was unlikely to fix them. There are other, much better ways
to troubleshoot problems.

NO, Ken Blake, you are very very much mistaken.

I FINALLY decided too run a, 'Registry Scan,' using - IObit's Advanced
WindowsCare V2 Personal; freeware I downloaded from www.cnet.com.

It FIXED a YEAR long gruelling problem that consumed a couple hundred hours
of my life! So, this dragging issue, was a very very tiny price to pay.
Corrupt files I cannot fix. Again, I am so glad I chose to run this Registry
Scan program; I'd do it again in a heart beat if I were not able to view
'News Videos,' like before I use it.

No Regrets, What's so Ever. I highly recommend this Freeware to everyone!
