Default no display in crtl panel ?

Hello,

I do not have the display icon in my control panel. Is it because
msgsrv32 is not loading? Have reinstalled 98 se, and it still does
not work. Must be some conflict with a program.Have msgsrv32 on the
drive.

Where in the sytem.ini does this load up? Driving me crazy as have to
crtl-alt-del every boot. Then close msgsrv32 for puter to start.

Any help would be gladly accepted.I will call Mr. Gates if not
fingered out. Or just format the HD, hate to do that as have it
how I want it. Give me a hammer..............

Phil

No idea why you bring msgsvr32 in to the display problem as I don't
see a connection.
First you should check to see that you have Desk.cpl in the System
folder, as that is used for the Display applet.
If there, then see if it works by double-clicking or using this
command from the Run box:

control desk.cpl

It doesn't load in System.ini
System.ini contains items you don't want to load in the [don't load]
section, so ensure there is no reference there to desk.cpl

It's CONTROL.INI (not system.ini) that includes the
entries to control what does or doesn't display in Control
Panel.

DESK.CPL
Desc: Control Panel DLL
Loc: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
Size: 221,280 bytes
Mod: Friday, April 23, 1999 10:22:00 PM
Ver: 4.72.3110.0

That is old enough never to have been modified by an update. So, extract
it with SFC.

(1) "START, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "DESK.CPL" in the "Specify..." box.
(4) Click "Start".
(5) It should offer to "Save file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM".
If not, make it so.
(6) In "Restore from", if not already pre-filled, browse to
(a) Installation CD (likely the Win98 folder) or
(b) The folder that has your cabs on the hard drive, likely
"C:\WINDOWS\options\cabs\".
(7) Click "OK"

If it discovers the file already exists, it will offer to back it up.
May as well do so. If it discovers the file is "in use", it will request
that you reboot to complete the install.
