display property problem

[Guest]

When I right click on the desktop I get the display properties box-but no tabs for appearance, settings, screen saver, etc. I have tried everthing I know of to fix it to no avail. I think my video card is responsible (see rest of message) I tried various registry fixes. That still didn't do it. I am getting a grip on whats wrong but still not there. I applied the fix from Kelly "restorealldisplaytabs" and found that upon checking the reegistry-part of fix didn't go in the registry. Here is what didn't get copied to the registry

DllName"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00, 74,00,25,00,5c,00,72,00,65,00,73,00,6f,00,75,00,72,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,5c, 00,54,00,68,00,65,00,6d,00,65,00,73,00,5c,00,6c,00,75,00,6e,00,61,00,5c,00, 6c,00,75,00,6e,00,61,00,2e,00,6d,00,73,00,73,00,74,00,79,00,6c,00,65,00,73, 00,00,0

I also noticed that the individual fixes for the tabs are a bit different but here is something interesting-when I start the 'puter in safe mode-all the tabs are there when you right click on properties. I am using a Nvidea Geforce 2 MX 400 video card and that is giving me lots of problems. It has a desk manager function that I think is responsible for this problem. What I think is happening is when the Nvidea card starts-it calls up the file for the display properties without the tabs. How do I fix this? The only way I can get the card to work is by uninstalling the adapter and then letting windows find and reinstall it. If I use the cd or the latest driver-device manager says it can't load driver after instalation. Obviously given the fact that it is fine in safe mode tells me something is being loaded that changes the file when you right click on the desktop; Or maybe it just pulls up the display tab from the file. The file is called desk.cpl and when you run it in regular mode-you get the same problem I am having with no tabs-when you run the file in safe mod-the tabs are all there. How can I start windows and see everything that is loaded? Or is there another way to deal with this

Hi Bruce,

Have the same card here, without issues. As for the Tabs being missing,
this is always due to a third party Desktop Manager (especially Desktop
Architect). Start your troubleshooting from there.

When I right click on the desktop I get the display properties box-but no

tabs for appearance, settings, screen saver, etc. I have tried everthing I
know of to fix it to no avail. I think my video card is responsible (see
rest of message) I tried various registry fixes. That still didn't do it.
I am getting a grip on whats wrong but still not there. I applied the fix
from Kelly "restorealldisplaytabs" and found that upon checking the
reegistry-part of fix didn't go in the registry. Here is what didn't get

The Nvidea card installs a desktop manager-the problem is I can't find it. How do I find out properties of the icon in control panel? that would help

Bruce,

In Control Panel, do you have "NVIDEA nView Desktop Manager" ?

Yes-thats what I want to delete

 

[+-J]

Just open it, and click [Disable nView]

It won't open-thats one of the problems. I need to find where it is located and delete it but I can't find it anywhere
