Display Properties changes are not "saved after apply :-(


I cannot get my "Display Properties" changes to be saved.

Compaq 6000z
xp home sp 1
memory I gig

Compaq 7550 Color Monitor S3 Graphics ProSavage DDR


I go to Display Properties:
Appearance:
Windows Classic Style
Effects:
I deselect : Use the following transition effect for menu and tooltips..
"fade effect"

I hit O K
I hit apply in the next window.

Then after rebooting, the above change is not saved.
I have to repeat :-(

Make sure in Performace, let windows choose what is best for my computer is not checked.

Right click on My Computer and click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under the performance frame, click the settings button.
On the visual effects, choose custom, and uncheck the fade buttons.

Also try this, after changing your desktop to the look you want, go to Control Panel.

Click Accesibility Options.
Click the general tab.
Check apply all settings to logon desktop.
Click OK.

Try some of these.
