Changes won't accept.

[Ken Brott]

We had some sort of corruption on our XP computer. Now,
when we change a setting, it doesn't stick. The setting
goes back to the original state.

What gives?

Something like that is hard to track down. Most settings are stored in the
registry. If you really want to troubleshoot, you could go to
www.sysinternals.com and grab regmon - it will monitor your registry and
track all of the changes that are made. That could help you to find out what
is changing your settings back, but it's not exactly the most friendly tool
for beginners.
