Windows XP Installation Problem

a_philosopher · 8th Mar 2006, 08:42 AM

I just completed a clean installation of Windows XP, with all drivers and such loaded and everything seemingly working fine...with one exception. When I go to Windows Explorer Tools > Folder options > View, the list of checkboxes that are supposed to be visible under "Advanced settings" is empty - it blank - no checkboxes of any kind to be seen. I have tried doing some obvious things, like changing graphics settings, but it still doesn't show up. I have tried posting this question in a couple of other forums, and no one seems to have any idea how to get it to work. Anyone here have any ideas?

I just found another place with the same problem: System Properties > Advanced > Performance > Settings. The Performance Options Windows > Visual Effects Tab should have checkboxes under the "Custom" setting, and they too are missing. Such a wierd problem!
