Missing Screensaver tab

[Ellen]

Hi All,

I wanted to change my screensaver, so went to:

C:\Start\control panel\display.... but there was no tab screensaver
anymore. Just Themes, Desktop, Appearance and settings.

Is there a way to get my tab screensaver back without going thru drastic
methods?? (I have Windows XP, Home edition, SP2)

Thanks so much!
Ellen

Hi WTC,

I scan my laptop a few times a week for Spyware, malware, and parasites,
using ad-aware, Spybot and some other programs like spyware Doctor and CW
Shredder.
Last run was a few hours ago and nothing found.

Further I have scheduled daily my anti-virus (Panda Platium 2006) for a full
system scan and this has found 2 days in a row a malware which suppose to be
removed
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\INTERNET
SETTINGS\ZONEMAP\DOMAINS\DEFAULTBAR.COM).

I checked the register and found the key NoDispScrSavPage only in
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] ant it was
set to zero.
So after making a back-up of the registery, I deleted it, as you suggested.
Rebooted and still the tab is not displayed...

Thanks,
Ellen

I only have a guest account and yes, the same problem there...

Also for some reason my Panda Platium is uninstalled when I switch to the
guest account...
Maybe I need to do a clean install and I will also have my Scanner and
Camera Problem solved... and who knows what other issues, I am not aware
of.

I guess I messed something up a while ago, while uninstalling a program via
JV16 Power tools.

Well we learn each day!

I am going to bed now.

Thanks so far!

Not to sure waht is causing this problem. Usually it is a policy restriction
but we already check for the registration entries.

Also for some reason my Panda Platium is uninstalled when I switch to the
guest account...
Maybe I need to do a clean install and I will also have my Scanner and
Camera Problem solved... and who knows what other issues, I am not aware
of.

If you are going to do this then remember to back up your personal data such
as emails and address book.

Thanks so far!

You're welcome Ellen.
