Lost the Screen Saver Tab in Video Setting

FrogMastr · 05-17-2001, 09:11 PM

..... i am puzzled ... i don't think this really has to do with the K release.... bu since i installed that version. I Lost the ScreenSaver Tab in my video Setting...

I am Using Windows 2K Pro.... anyone had something like that?

Windows 2000 has a broad ability to hide settings from the user. Sure it's not switched off somewhere? Is this your own personal computer or a work computer?

My own, and i am logged as Administrator...

But the Screen saver IS working... i just cannot adjust time and things like that

It is weird...

Try entering:

RUNDLL32.exe SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL DESK.CPL,@0,1
Into START, RUN

This is the code that loads that tab. See if it works.

RUNDLL32.exe SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL DESK.CPL,@0,1
Into START, RUN

Not working

the Display Property Open , but still no Scren Saver TAB
I must be missing a file... i just don't know wich

Or maybe something went wrong with my registry , and this tab is visible no more...

I just can't find it!
