Keldyn Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Sounds like something in the registry has screwed up. Have you tried a System Restore ? Last known good config ? Even new video drivers ? Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_7799 Posted February 13, 2002 Author Share Posted February 13, 2002 I have re-installed, restored and everything else, and about 20 days after having it, the thing sumhow disables itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanmcv Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 so you did a full reinstall of XP? or did you just do a repair install? try doing a full reinstall. you will lose everything on your hard drive though :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoStriker1 Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 that happened to mine (although I run pro) after I uninstalled windowblinds. doesnt really phase me though, I think all the options in there can be accessed through tweak-xp anyway.

y_notm Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 you can access icon size from the registry. and it sounds like if its happening on clean installs that it's probably a program you have installed, or as someone mentioned video drivers.
