View 3 RepliesA computer in their room,its an IBM with windows xp,Somehow they have rotated desktop 180 degrees and its upside down and I dont know how to return it to normal.Im fairly certain its the desktop because the monitor menu is the right way
View 3 Replies View RelatedDisplay screen is is tilted 90 degrees to the right, so instead of my screen showing horizontally it is displayed vertically. In other words, you have to set the flat monitor screen on its side to view your display. I ran Norton Antivirus and there were 5 items that I couldn't delete including TBPS.exe.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've changed the screen resolution from 800+ to 10000+ range and back to 800 several times. This so that a program I am using will fit the screen (10000) and back so icons and print on desktop are bigger. Now I can no longer get dsplay to open and can't do anything with the display. I'm using Windows XP

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I right-click, and get the Display Properties, I only have three tabs: Themes, Appearances and Settings. I no longer have Screen Saver and DeskTop tabs
I'm not sure when they disappeared, but most likely when I had a virus. I've gotten rid of the virus, but the Screen Saver is gone.
I'm running Windows XP, of course. How can I get my tabs back?
I've created several O.E. email folders like "Family", etc. within O.E.I think I've even copied two of them to a CD.I can't get that CD to open even tho the "properties" indicate it contains "X" amount of data, (a lot).Right now I'm stymied trying to open the CD. I messed with it so long that the tray locked on me and I had to shut down and fiddle with it to get it to open.what to do next to try to open the CD?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently had a blue screen of death nightmare and managed to get the system running again by running chkdsk in Windows recovery console. Everything seems to be fine except for the links to My Documents and My Pictures in the start menu. The links are still there on the top right but neither of them have the folder icon and when I right click to open properties I get a desktop error saying "The properties for this item are not available." I can still access the contents of the folders but want to get my system running properly again.
View 14 Replies View RelatedYou know how you can set the properties of a folder by right clicking and selecting properties and then under the 'Customize' tab you can choose whether the folder is for Music, Photos or Videos, etc...? Well that ability is not available in the same way for the actual D: (second harddrive). Somehow Windows decided to make my entire D drive a Music folder so when I'm in the root folder for D: it doesn't have the option to "Make New Folder". Instead it shows "Play All" and actions for Music type folders. See photos: It needs to be "File and Folder Tasks" not "Music or Pictures Tasks" but how do you change this setting on a folder (or in this case, harddrive) if the Folder Properties do not have a Customize tab??

Awhile back when my computer was going cuckoo ( i think because my daughter went on that stupid kazaa infectious website!!!) Somehow pictures from a folder that had nothing to do with screensavers or wallpaper suddenly appeared as choices. Well i couldnt figure out how they got into that d.p. tab much less delete them but somehow i stumbled across a way to disable so no one could change it. well needless to say can't figure out how to enable it and was wondering how to fix it.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I right-click on the desktop and choose Properties, all I get is a drop-down box to select a theme - no tabs for screen saver, etc. I tried the "Restore All Display Tabs" solution at kellys-korner-xp.com, didn't work. The tabs do appear if I boot in safe mode, but changes aren't saved. I've run virus and spyware scans (including the scans at ewido.net), nothing picked up.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn Win XP/Home/SP2 (all updates applied), when I right click on an item on my desktop (shortcut, file, folder, etc.), or in Windows Explorer (not to be confused with Internet Explorer), then click on "Properties," nothing happens. No properties are displayed; no error message comes up; nothing.When I try this, I am logged in as an administrator.A search of the forum revealed numerous similar questions which have never been solved. The only one that seems to be solved is regarding the properties of the display (i.e. for wallpaper, screensavers, etc.), and that works properly on my system.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI built my comp four months ago and everything has been running surprisingly well. Now, I have two back up hdds and I they never format for some reason, so I was going to do it with the XP installer disc.. but I couldn't really figure out how to completely format/whipe any of my backup drives so I just cancelled out. Now, I loaded up my main disk and my DISPLAY was all sorts of messed up. So I reinstalled my NvIdia drivers.. they work. BUT EVERY TIME I RESTART it goes back to being all kinds of messed up. And when I say messed up I mean the resolution is terrible and everything is all big and slow.
