Hi' I have always been able to figure out how to fix my problems and now I have one I can't seem to fix without reinstalling windows xp. I cannot open my display in the control panel or even in my command prompt. It doesn't give me an error message or anything it just doesn't open. I need some help... if anyone knows what to do without reinstalling windows let me know please... thanks...

What happens when you right click anywhere on the desktop and select properties?

It doesn't do anything! My mouse looks like it's loading and nothing happens. The mouse just goes back to normal.

In that casehaveyou tried a system restore to before this started happening ?

No I didn't!

I really don't want to reinstall windows.

In that case try it.
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore and follow the Wizard.

OK. I did and display still won't open.

Is there any way to get into my display manually through anything other than the command prompt?

In your opinion do you think I should transfer my files over to my 360g hard drive and
Re-install windows on my 160g hard drive? Because that's the only thing I can think of.

I wonder if a corrupted installation of video drivers can do this. Nvidia and ATI are fond of having their own 'control consoles', maybe that played havock with the Windows Display. Maybe try uninstalling drivers and install known stable drivers?

How?

How would I uninstall then install stable drivers and how can I get them??

It's OK I fixed it.

How did you do it?

OK I fixed my problem.

Ummmmmmmmmm same thing happens to me except my screen also flickers and its annoying.

Grrrr:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :eek:
