Default How to re-install "Display" in Control Panel. TIA

After a recent re-install of WinXP I find that the Display seems not
to be at "full strength" ie: not all options available. The "advanced"
option being the most needed just now for me. The icon is there but no
drop-downs etc. Is there any way to re-install Display without major
disruption? TIA for any & all help.

Check the OEM site for your machine for graphics card drivers. Also
consider using some of the following tweaks, collected by Kelly:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 227. (r-h column) Restore/Enable Screensaver Tab Settings/Display
Line 282. Enable the Appearance Tab - Display
Line 285. (r-h column) Restore All Display Tabs - Remove All Display
Tabs & Icon

Good advice, also ensure your motherboard drivers are installed this could
also contribute to problems with sound and etc.

Thanks, both for prompt replies. I fell back on a "clean Install"
eventually but have saved your advice.
