It can happen that the tabs of the display properties are missing after installation of new drivers or a change of the video card. Only the contents of the first tab are displayed if this is happening and there is no obvious way on how to access the other tabs. The other tabs are still available but simply not visible. A method to access them would be to use the TAB key to navigate through the tabs but this is obviously not a permanent solution.
To fix missing display properties tabs you need to use the following two commands in the Windows command line. To open the command line press Windows R and enter cmd in the run box. The first command that should be issued is “regsrv32 themeui” and the second “regsrv32 /i shell32″ without the “” of course. You need to restart the computer after those two commands so that the changes take effect.
Those two commands register and install the two dll libraries again which are, among other things, responsible for the display properties dialog.
