SYMPTOMS
In the Display Properties dialog box in Windows XP and Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can change the Active Window border size to 0 (zero). However, this is not a valid value, and therefore this value is never actually saved. The next time that you view this setting, the value is set to 1.
