I just clicked on the Display icon in the control panel
to adjust my resolution and all I get is Display
properties. What happened to my other options??????

Unless they've been blocked by an administrator, "Screen Resolution" and
"Color quality" are located in Display Properties. They're on the Settings
page of that screen.
 
I'm the only user and I've made no changes. It's on
Display Properties Theme. That's it. No options or
tabs.....? I have no idea when or how that happened.

Suggestions:
-If you are using a third party theme, go back to a standard theme. Then
try the control panel again.

-Look in Control Panel for a second icon related to display. Some systems
use a proprietary icon in addition to the default Display properties. My
tablet PC with an Intel onboard chip does this.

-Could try replacing the desk.cpl with a fresh copy from the XP CD.

-Take a look at some of the suggestions from MVP Kelly Theriot's FAQ that
relate to display problems. Title of the section is "why does Windows XP
style change to Windows Classic style" (click topic to expand) but there
are some relevant suggestions within the discussion:

Connie, I also found this over at Kelly's site. Might want to give it a
try:
