Guest Robert Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I have XP Home SP2 edition on both my desk top and lap top and am running with the same privileges. Today I tried to add a second monitor. No problem on the desk top, but the lap top does not work. I get all the tabs, Themes, Desktop, Screen Saver, Appearance, and Settings on the desk top. On the lap top I only get Display. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Robert.

Hello Robert, If this is a work laptop, there might be policies enforced on the machine by the system admin. Else, you can enable the rest of the tabs by running the following edits: Restore All Display Tabs (line 285, right column) http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp Microsoft Certified Professional http://www.microsoft.com/mcp My Blog http://www.anando.org/blog "Robert" <rwdel(remove this)@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:B48CD804-0412-4C73-BF48-10F2C3ECCD1A@microsoft.com... >I have XP Home SP2 edition on both my desk top and lap top and am running > with the same privileges.

Guest Robert Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Re: Privilege Problems or other? No, it's not office, it's all mine. Sorry I didn't answer that. Also the change you suggested changed the resolution on my screen. Only problem with that is it forces me to use my glasses. Guess I getting really old. Would appreciate any more help you or others might give. -- Thanks, Robert "Anando [MVP]" wrote: > Is this your work laptop ? > > -- > Anando > Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User > http://www.microsoft.com/mvp > > Microsoft Certified Professional > http://www.microsoft.com/mcp > > My Blog > http://www.anando.org/blog > "Robert" <rwdel(remove this)@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:0FDFF100-B874-44AC-A80B-5E4504B29B48@microsoft.com... > > Thanks for the fast response, but, it did not work.
