Normally when I use the mouse to resize a window in XP, I can see the
window as I am resizing it. Since my last install, when I resize a
window, all I see during the resize is the outline of the window. How
can this be fixed?

Could you be more specific? I don't see this under Display
properties...

Found it under the Advanced tab - (I don't have an Appearances
tab).Settings button in the Performance section.

Normally when you use the mouse to resize a window it is visible as you resize it. Since my latest re-
install of XP, as I resize a window all I can see is the outline of the window. How can I switch this
back?

Try this: right click on My Computer (either on your desktop or in the
Start menu) and select properties. In the System Properties window
click on the Advanced tab, then click on the Settings button in the
Performance section of the tab. In the Performance Options window make
sure that the line that says " Show contents while dragging" has a
checkmark, if it doesn't click in the box beside the line to add one.
Now just click on OK on all windows until you are back at the desktop.
