This problem is related to my previous question on No Color in email letter's
It seems like every time I shut down my PC & later when I turn it back on
the setting's have changed,the main one I notice immediately is my color is
down from 32 bit to 8 bit & the pixels are also down,the task bar also
changes to white intead of the blue I like,theres other things wrong too,I
think I may have picked up a bug or ????

It might be a security program blocking the Registry changes it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
 
Dear OAK,

Open a command prompt and type chkdsk /r and hit enter. Then type y
(& hit enter). Reboot your PC and your disk will be checked - takes
quite awhile... This is the first step in isolating stuff that is
probably not malware.

Next step is this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827315

Hope that helps.
