XP dOgg Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 With XP you get the Effects, which is in the display tab.For some reason, I can press this button 2000 times and nothing will happen. Last thing I did before it happened was Changing the windows software list, unhiding it so you can remove some components.Anyone have Ideas on how to get the effects back?

XPerties Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 A friend of mine lost this function to when he installed Desktop Arcitect. Did you install any 3rd party software to manage your screen savers or themes?-XPerties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPerties Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 I dont think nor have I heard of this happening with XP Plus, altho I tell everyone to stay away from Plus. Its sucks....plain and simple. We tried everything with his machine to fix it. Replaceing files ect ect....but couldnt get it back. In the end he just formatted for other reason and all is fine now.Maybe someone else might have a solution.-XPerties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote:b00e4ff38e] This kind of begs the question. Did you "remove some components" after you edited the sysoc.inf file? If so, what was removed? I guess you could scrounge around to see if a removed component (if there is one) might be responsible. If so, however, I'd expect you to see other anomalies in the user interface.- Collin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP dOgg Posted January 5, 2002 Author Share Posted January 5, 2002 yeah i did remove some components, cant rememeber which ones now. Forgot to back up the file as well, silly me Dont really want to format the PC, guess i'll just live without my 'effects'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0rv1d43 Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 If this is simply a matter of missing components you will almost certainly be able to get all the functions back by performing a repair install of the OS. Won't blow away your data or installed software, though performing a backup first is never a bad idea. Hope you get the "effects" back!- Collin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP dOgg Posted January 5, 2002 Author Share Posted January 5, 2002 I started getting too many little problems that got annoying. When i'd connect to the net it wouldnt tell me what speed in the nice little pop-up.Formatted today and edited the start button,progress bar and flashing taskbar buttons to blue. Looks much nicer i must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
