Was 2007 a good year?

Yes it was a wonderful year
Yes, but there is always room for improvement
Status quo
It was a challenge

Hi, I need help with my Display Properties. There are only 2 tabs left, I don't know where the rest went. Never seen this kind of issue before. I need help, please refer to the URL below for a copy of my display properties image

1) click 'start' then 'run'

2) type in 'regedit'

3) click HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then 'software', then 'microsoft', then 'windows' then 'currentversion', then click 'policies', and finally click 'system'
All I have is the default

You didn't mention which version of Windows you are using.

If you are using a version that has System Restore capability, try using that feature to return your computer to a restore point before you had the problem.

Hi Shawn925...Welcome to Castle Cops !

As stated in the link at the end of this post..malware can cause this and I would recommend working through the Malware Removal and Prevention...The following link has a download that will restore your display tabs...As this will change your registry I would recommend making a back up of your registry prior to making changes...

Restore missing tabs to the Display properties dialog

How to back up the XP registry


Post back let us know...!
