Why No Display Setting Tabs

[NazzcaPro]

This happened when I installed SP1 for XP Home Edition. If I move the mouse around at the top, it does actually go into each tab's properties (as if the tabs were there) and when I change something in the properties and push Apply - it works but then if I press Ok - it give me a Address error. It's really odd.

All of my display drivers are correct and not corrupt. I'm running the 3D Prophet II Ti and I'm sure it has nothing to do with those drivers.

Is this an OEM version of XP Home?

download latest video drivers for your videocard and try to reinstall them ... seems a registry problem to me ... patje.

It's the Upgrade and it's the retail version. This only happened when I installed SP1 though and I have the updated Detonator 4 drivers for my 3D Prophet II Ti. It is really odd. I switched between a couple drivers and that still didn't make a difference (for nVidia and for Hercules).

What registry entry are you thinking about jesuske?

Some general things to try.



Try Safe Mode (Do you have this problem in Safe Mode?).

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it .

Do you have the option to Uninstall SP1 and revert to a pre SP1 environment?

If they don't work you could try repairing windows itself by running it over itself. You will lose all your windows updates but your files will be untouched.
