Dali8 <Dali8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
All the tabs on Display Properties are missing. I can only change the
theme. I don't know how this happened. This pc has less then an year and
was working just fine. It wasn't attacked by any virus (at least, I
didn't notice any problems besides this one). I need the Display
properties so I can connect the pc to the TV.

I've tried everything I found on the net about this issue:

I downloaded the REG "Restore all display tabs" (I didn't have the

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and that fixed it but the missing tabs still didn't show up),

I cleaned up the computer (used eTrust antivirus, Ad-aware, ewido, spybot
and HijackThis)

and I tried to do what was suggested on the site
http://www.theeldergeek.com/desktop_tab_missing_from_display.htm, but I
couldn't find the group policy editor (I have a portuguese Windows XP
version and "gpedit.msc" didn't work )

I don't know what else I can do! If anyone has any idea, please let me
know!

Thanks!

Oh! Info about the pc: Targa GmbH AMD Turion (tm) 64 Mobile, Technology
MT-32, 1.79 GHz, 1GB RAM with ATI Mobility Radeon X700; Windows XP Home
Edition (version 2002) with SP2.
