Hi, i'm running XP pro on a 2.0 p4 with 768 ram.
My problem is this....... Every time windows starts, it displays windows
classic visual settings, i change it to XP display settings, log out then
back in and its back to basic display. Anyway the real problem is, when i try
to install a bluetooth usb adapter(i have tried 3 different bluetooth
devices) it says "system administrator has set policies to prevent this
installation" This is driving me crazy because i am the administrator. Is
there any way to reset or overide system policies? I would just re-install
windows but I have too much important stuff to just do that. Please help me??

Windows XP is Alzheimmer ...but you can fix this :)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

add this key:

NoSaveSettings
Reg_Dword
0

This keep the user settings between sessions.
(1 = don't keep)

Check the policies and disable the one that prevent this installation:

Start | Run | gpedit ...
