    MS-SETTINGS:DISPLAY issue when trying to activate native screen res


    MS-SETTINGSISPLAY This File does not have a Program Associated with it

    When I right click on the desktop to set the screen resolution for one of the monitors and a dual panel setup I get the above message. I've tried searching for a solution but one of the options (by an MS adviser) which might work is simply a no no for us as we can't make the user an admin on our network.
    When I log into the very same desktop it's fine it just seems to be this user.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    [1] The settings that a user can change could have been set by the IT department and therefore are not changeable.
    [2] The local User Profile could be corrupted.
    [3] Try a System Restore Point prior to this happening [probably can't be done as it is a networkrd user].

    I hope this helps!

    Paul, thank you for your reply. Somehow magically it seems to have sorted itself out whether the senior network manager did something or what I don't know but again thank you for your reply.
