When I right click the desktop-it comes up with the "display properties" page with no tabs. If I click on another theme-and then apply-it brings up the tabs. How do I fix this so when I right click the desktop-it comes up with the "themes" page and the rest of the tabs? This is the 3rd time I have asked this question (in different form) and have gotten some suggestions-but nothing has worked yet. Also was wondering how to delete icons in the control panel.

You don't "delete" the icons in control panel. Using TweakUI you can hide
them, but not delete them. As for your first question, it sounds like a
reinstall is in order.

You were not 'ignored' that shows great disrespect to those attempting to
assist you. You have replies to every single post you've made to this group
thus far. I suggest you go back and review them.
 
You were answered each and every time.

Hint: Drop posting via CDO and use a real newsreader.

I am truly sorry if I offended you-I have just been really frustrated with these problems. I have spent probably 30-40 hours this week trying to get this resolved including fornmatting the hard drive at least 8 times, and reinstalling XP even more than that. Had numerous errors on reinstall but finally got a supposedly clean one. I took a chill pill and again-I apologize-its just that my first post today was early this morning and about 12 hours later when I did the second one. Meanwhile, everybody else had been answered and I guess I just got frustrated. I am so close but yet so far-its so weird that just the display properties comes up-and if I change themes-then all the tabs appear-but when I click apply-and then check it-its back to the display properties but without tabs. I know that the Nvidia card caused this-but I can't seem to get rid of the desktop manager that is installed along with the drivers. Anyway-I really do appreciate how helpful everybody has been-I just need to have more patience to get to the bottom of this.

You're welcome, Kelly. I have the utmost admiration for you and the rest of
your 'species' (you know full well I think the sun shines out your....;o)).
I cannot stand ingrates like this 'person' who appear to think the world
owes them. I know I can be a bit abrasive at times, but I'm sick to death of
people thinking they can storm in here and demand to be assisted - because
they can't be arsed to help themselves!

Any other thoughts on my issue yet ;o) No rush, just wondering..

Blessings,

Erm, it isn't me you should be apologising to - it's Kelly, Carey, Jupiter,
et al who've assisted you previously. I was merely outraged on their behalf
that you should state you were being ignored when folk have gone out of
their way to be helpful and accommodating.

You have to remember that these people are *not* employed by MS, and do not
spend 24/7 answering questions, they have other lives (Kelly, for example,
has a large family to look after). When you post something you need to have
a little bit more patience - 12 hours really isn't long enough. This group
propagates all over the world - I assume you're in the US, but I'm in the UK
so, depending on where in the States you are, there could be as much as an
8-hour time difference - when you start work at 9am people over here are
just coming home and thinking about supper, helping with homework, bathtime,
reading stories and putting the kids to bed. The last thing anyone wants to
be doing when they've just come back from a day at the office is sitting in
front of their computer (unless it's as a means of relaxation and
recreation).

So, please, have a bit more consideration for those who help - it makes us
more willing to assist in future...

*I* wasn't offended, but Kelly clearly was (and I reckon Carey and Jupiter
would have been to if they'd seen this).

So please, patience really *is* a virtue...you scratch our backs...

Saying you've been ignored really isn't conducive to having anyone assist
you in the future.

As the advert goes - have a break, have a KitKat (insert name of favourite
chocolate bar here).

With warmest wishes,

Epona
