I have win xp home. I'm sick and tired of the screensavers and want to delete the whole lot and replace it with my own question: how do I delete the screensavers ONLY without affecting the rest of the "Properties"

A student has installed a theme in one lab computer that I cannot get rid of. It doesn't appear to have the *.theme extension -- a search for that or the theme name turns up nothing. Additionally, in Display Properties > Themes, the Windows XP theme is gone; also, under Appearance > Windows and Buttons, the Windows XP Style is gone.

View 4 Replies View Related1) I have no idea how this happened, but when I click on "Display Properties" to change the desktop wallpaper, there are 4 tabs, and only one is related to lthe desktop display. It is the 'Themes" tab. There is no ""Desktop" tab so that I can select a .bmp file to use as my new wallpaper display.
2) While I'm at it, could someone please tell me where and what folder Windows uses for the screensaver files?
I have installed pictures from my old computer and they went into my desktop choices. How do a get rid of them under display properties>desktop so that they are not part of the choice.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI think i have some sort of 'infection' that is affecting my Display Driver and not letting Windows accept the files. The problem started nearly a week back and over 20 reinstallations of 3 different versions of the Intel Extreme Graphics Driver later, it still gives me the same error. There seems to be an issue with ialmrnt5.dll (one of the display driver files).The main error message that i get from Windows goes something like: "Windows has recovered from a serious device failure. Please close all programs and reboot to restore full functionality". Else, i get a message directly pointing out the file saying something like: "the ialmrnt5.dll Display Driver has malfunctioned.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy (WinXP) system drive is dying and I need to replace it. I'd like to copy everything over from the C drive to a spare. I've tried using Norton's Ghost "clone" option to copy the drive (C->E), but after the copy and the new HD moved to master, Windows hangs at the blue startup screen. I can do a fresh install of XP, but would rather avoid that route. Questions:1. Can anyone explain a better way of doing this, list a web site(s) with instructions or recommend a better utility than Ghost? 2. Any ideas of why Windows is hanging? When it hangs, pressing ESC or Enter produces a beep, the rest of the keys are silent.

I am running a legit XP and am confused on how to download this theme, or is the Black Edition a whole different version of XP that I have to buy?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was running along just swell this morning, until Windows Explorer crashed. Here's the scenario. Adobe CS2 was asking for activation (I've been lazy about registering it), at the same moment I was launching opening a folder. For some reason beyond my understanding, this caused Windows Explorer to crash. A couple of moments later it was running just fine.I keep working, no problems are apparent. I restart my system, and lo and behold, my XP theme has been replaced by the generic Windows, gray bar, non-cartoony theme. You know, the type you get when you select "Use Windows Classic Style."Problem is, I right click on my desktop to change my theme back (I *like* olive green), and all of bundled WinXP themes (you know, the blue, silver, olive green) are no longer within the drop down box. Just Windows Classic.
