Are you running XP Pro or Home? If Pro, go to Start, Run and enter
GPEDIT.MSC Go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Control
Panel, Display. In the right pane, locate the entry for Remove Display in
Control Panel. Double click this entry. It should be set to Disabled or
Not Configured.

If you're running XP Home, or if GPEDIT shows that this policy is Disabled
or Not Configured go to Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Look in the right pane for a value called NoDispCPL. If present, double
click it and set its value to 0 (zero). If its not there, right click in
the right pane and select New, DWord value. Name the value NoDispCPL and
leave its value at 0.
