[XPPro] Display setting error in Microsoft Help http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22643013 en Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:44:53 EDT Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:44:53 EDT Re: [XPPro] Display setting error http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22654771 ez2cy : I have not tried the "clean boot" yet auggy.

I may have not made it clear about Safe Mode. Although I was able to get into "Display" without an error message and it let me go thru the motions it did not change anything. Only changed when I rebooted normally that I could change it, and then I got the error again.

What resolution? I'm not sure. What I'm doing is, certain poker rooms, you have to have a setting of ???? so you can fit tables on your screen without overlap. Only way to find out is open 4 tables and keep changing the resolution until you get what you want.

I'll try the "clean boot" now.

Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22654771 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:16:55 EDT Re: [XPPro] Display setting error http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22653101 auggy : Also, that you can change the settings in Safe Mode indicates that it is unlikely the problem is with a system file.

It may be a program or service that loads at startup.

Can you perform a "clean boot" of XP and see if the same error occurs:

To what resolution are you trying to set? Could it be that your monitor doesn't support that resolution?

Can you set the resolution to some other one, like what it was originally? What resolutions does your monitor support?

Just wondering.

In that case can you press F8 just after the "Del to Setup - F8 to Boot menu" (or similar) message appears and disappears.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22650805 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:18:36 EDT Re: [XPPro] Display setting error http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22650668 ez2cy : Ready to throw this out and go buy a MAC.

No I have never added anything like that.

Can you restart the computer in "Safe Mode" and see if you can open "Display" in the Control Panel.

Also, have you every installed a third party desktop customization program such as WindowBlinds?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22649533 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:18:27 EDT Re: [XPPro] Display setting error http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22649274 ez2cy : Three of those AB things

(Default) (value not set)
infocardcpl.cpl
speech.cpl

All are REG_SZ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22649274 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:24:24 EDT Re: [XPPro] Display setting error http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22649097 tao : As long as we are digging in the registry...

Right above the Controls entry is the Control Panel list, in there is a folder named "don't load", what are the entries in there?

The exact path is:

HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Control Panel/don't load

If desk.cpl is in there, do not remove it yet, just tell us if desk.cpl is in there. If it is there, it is likely due to a bug in some display intensive program that does not want you altering the display properties while the game is running, but, and this is the bug, did not/does not remove the registry setting when the game exited/was uninstalled.

Can you check what display adapter and version of the display adapter driver:

Under the Display tab, what is the "Name" of the Device?

Then follow the path MSeng has typed out... just click on each + next to the area you want to drill down into.

When you get to PropertySheetHandlers write down anything you see there besides PlusPack and report back.

Don't change anything, you are just looking to see what if anything else is there, just click the x to close the whole thing after you have the info.
