Control Panel, Display, Desktop "not responding"

[Guest]

When I try to use the desktop tab in the Display section of Control Panel, it
does not respond. All of the other tabs function properly. I'm stymied. I can
change the desktop image by right clicking on a new one but I can not select
how the image is to be displayed, i.e. centered, tiled, stretch. The only way
to get out of it is to "X" out. When I do that, Windows sends an error
report: You chose to end the nonresponsive program, Run a DLL as an App.

Any suggestions?

Hi

If you type

desk.cpl

from Start/Run does the Display Properties screen appear?

Yes, no problem at all getting the "Display Properties" screen appear. All
the other tabs work *except* Desktop. When I click on that tab it just
freezes and eventually shows (not responding). At that point I have to "x"
out to close the screen.

Click Start- Run and run these commands one-by-one :
regSvr32 /i shimGvw.dll
regSvr32 /i msHtml.dll

regSvr32 /i shell32.dll

Good Luck, Ayush.

Hi

See if there is a copy of that file in the windows\system32\dllcache folder.
If so, copy/paste it to the windows\system32 folder. It may have become
corrupted somehow.
