well it like really helps when you use punctuation and caps so we like know when one thought begins and the next one like ends so if youd like try to write in a more coherent like fashion and use the proper grammar and stuff that you like should have learned in school it would be like much easier for someone to understand exactly what youre asking and typing obscentities is a good way to get yourself like banned from the forums

ok so like i decided to get my piece of poop computer running again, so i can use it as an MSN computer. And well when i open properties from the desktop, i dont get the settings tab. Its really annoying cause i cant do anything. It's stuck on the appearence tab which is the only thing there, it doesnt even say appearence it is as if it is the only thing on that window. I Finally got it to 800 x 600 cause windows finally realized it was in 600 x 480, which is not a default of XP, but i want it at 1024 x 768 so i can actually see less clutter. Is that better Punctuation :P.

Maybe the monitor does not support 1024x768

I tend to agree with o00oshawno00o due to CPU/Ram: dirty/dirty. i_XpUser

lol no no it does go to 1024 x 768 the monitor isnt as dirty it actually goes to 1168 x 8??, cant remember the exact one but its the resolution after 1024. also the fact the tabs arnt there is weird i cant change screen saver, desktop, appearence (it is stuck on themes not appearence sry) so like yah i have no options its dumb and annoying.
