    Restoring XP display properties

    Hi All,

    After my battle with Antivirus XP 2008, I am left with no screensaver. I opened Control Panel/Display properties, and found that the Screensaver tab no longer exists!

    Having had to turn off System Restore to get rid of the virus, I don't think I have any past restore points to access, and therefore can't use System Restore to fix the problem.

    Is there any other way of repairing this?

    Cheers,

    Lionel

    Regedit

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]
    "NoDispScrSavPage"=dword:00000000

    or if that does not make sense look at hint 51 here Troubleshooting Windows XP, Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP

    Yes, I actually found a similar site yesterday, and managed to fix it by editing the registry as suggested.

    Thanks for your info.

    Cheers,

    Lionel
