I haven't the patience to post this on Microsoft's forum, though I've come
across other users with a similar problem, but no solution short of a
complete reinstall...
I built my AMD X2 4400 system a couple of months ago and have, at least
recently had problems with the desktop theme resetting on restart, randomly
- one day it's normal, the next, it gets reset. Not a big deal in the grand
scheme, but turning system sounds off when this happens is annoying. There
are several threads of users seeing this on the MS forum, but no solutions.
Second problem, and probably the more strange and perhaps foreboding - under
most user configurable settings (visual settings, folder settings, etc), the
tick box/option is missing - each option is there, but no way to
select/deselect. My user account is admin, so it shouldn't (that I can
tell) be a user access issue. I've built several PCs and never seen
anything like this - nothing unusual during install - pretty standard stuff.
Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid rebuilding it as it took a long day to get
it setup with all the apps, VSTi's, licenses, etc, etc, and I don't have
time in the foreseeable furture to do so. So far it isn't a show stopper
but I'm holding my breath wondering if it will become one.
Win XP ProSP2
Matrox P650
AMD X2 4400
2G Ram
1 IDE
3 SATA
Thanks!
