Show windows contents whilst dragging

[Robin]

Hi,

"Show Windows Contents whilst Dragging" will not stay ticked in "Display
Properties" even though it is ticked in "Performance Settings". How can I
make XP remember my settings? I have a Dell Dimension 8300 running XP Pro. I
saw what looked like the last thread of a post in this group entitled "
Windows Contents Whilst Dragging" and all it said was

Uninstall that waste of a time piece of crappy good 4 nothing Dell Media
Experience.

Dr. CyKuhTic is in office...

Is this maybe the problem, I missed all the threads prior to this one. Dr
CyKuhTic if you read this please reply.

Cheers

Rob

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for your reply mate. Unfortunately this did not work, after a reboot
the problem returned. Its ticked in System Properties/Advanced/Performance
but unticks itself from Display Properties. Looks like it may lie with Dell
Media Experience, but I'm reluctant to uninstall it as it's kinda useful
(Unless somebody knows otherwise).

Cheers Kelly

Rob,

Yes. It seems to be a Dell issue.

Hi Bob,

Guess what: I've got the same annoying problem with my
Dell Dimension 8300 + WXP Pro SP1... And I was looking in
this newsgroup trying to find an answer to get rid of it.
Since I've started to use it only a few days ago, it may
be well possible that the mentioned Dell Media Experience
might be causing it. I'll try to de-install it tonight and
find out if this was causing it.
Btw: what exactly did you mean by "...even though it is
ticked in "Performance Settings"..."? Couldn't find this
option so far...

Later!

It's under the 'Advanced' tab in the 'System Properties' dialog. This can be accessed by either a
right-click on 'My Computer' and selecting 'Properties', or thru Control Panel.
