How reinstate "15 second" message on display properties?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize,microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

On my XP Pro system I have lost the message which comes up after making a
change to the display settings (monitor refresh rate, font size, etc) which
says that I have 15 seconds to accept the new settings or it will revert
back to the old settings.

Instead I get a popup window saying "Compatibitilty Warning" offering me
the choice of restarting the PC with the new settings or applying the new
settings immediately.

How do I get back the "15 second" message?

Strangely, I already have that box checked ("Ask Me before applying the new
display settings" ). And yet I still get ni dialog which gives me 15
seconds.

I must have fiddled with something in the registry.

Does anyone know what else I can try?
