Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / January 2004Desktop Setttings Gone Awry
Hello all. I've tried to get help at many places, but am not getting any response. My problem began when I updated Windows XP:Home with all of the recent critical updates (as of Jan. 10, 2004). Afterward, whenever I were to restart my computer or even simply log off of my username (I'm the only user), my custom names/icons for My Computer, My Desktop, and Recycle Bin, are reverted back to their default states. This is driving me insane; enough to the point that I backed up my computer and reinstalled Windows XP. To no avail, whenever I restart or log off, the icons do not remain the same. I've tried Kelly's fix, but that does not seem to work. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. | Hello all. I've tried to get help at many places, but am | not getting any response.

Is your PC a Dell? Is your graphics card a nVidea? Jan Thanks, my computer is not a Dell. I tried the Line 30 Kelly's fix, the "save settings" one. And I have an nVidia 128mb Ti4200 graphics card. Hope this helps, thanks! | Thanks, my computer is not a Dell. I tried the Line 30 | Kelly's fix, the "save settings" one. And I have an | nVidia 128mb Ti4200 graphics card. Hope this helps, | thanks! Rich, Try this... [Start] | Run | services.msc [Enter] Navigate to... "NVIDIA Driver Helper Service" click [Stop] When "Service Status:" = "Stopped", change "Startup Type:" to [ Disabled ] [OK] You might first need to do this... Control Panel NVIDIA Desktop Helper [Disable nView] [OK] --- Jan Jan, I can't thank you enough. Your advice solved the problem, I just wish I hadn't gone through the hassle of reseting my entire system!! I guess it might have been my newly updated nVidia driver.. do you know? Thanks again for the help. - Rich | Jan, | I can't thank you enough. Your advice solved the | problem, I just wish I hadn't gone through the hassle of | reseting my entire system!!

It would seem to be your newly updated nVidia driver. Was it sufficient to stop the nVidea service, or did you need to [Disable nView] either before or after stopping the service? --- Jan Jan, I did not have to disable nview because I stopped it as soon as I installed the drivers. I did have to stop the service though. Thanks again, |
