• Change the appearance settings to take my windows turns blue instead of white

  In windows XP, I used to be able to change the appearance settings to make my windows (ie. excel worksheet, word documents, outlook e-mail body) light blue instead of white. I can't find how to make the same change on Windows 7. Any ideas?

  Here are the steps I used to do in Windows XP to make the change:
  Do right click on desktop--> click on 'Properties'--> click the 'Appearance' tab--> click bottom right the 'Advanced' button--> in the "point:" drop-down box, I would choose 'Window'--> then I would change "color 1" to a shade longer than light blue "»
  The same steps do not work in Windows 7, and I can't seem to find where to go to change the color.
  Light blue is much easier on the eyes when you work all day in front of the computer, so I really want to find a way to make the same change in Windows 7. Thank you!

  How to change the color of windows in Windows 7:

  Right-click on the desktop, click Customize, click on "Window Color" at the bottom of the pane, click on "Advanced appearance... settings". ", select the list box window drop-down element, click Color 1, click other and type these digits from left and from top to lower left and then right at the top on the bottom right, click OK, click on apply.

• System does not boot after changing the appearance settings

  I installed XP Home successfully, but the resolution of the screen to be changed. When I followed the instructions of troubleshooting, I was unable to get to the drivers. I changed the settings on the advanced screen prompt to auto, and now after the Windows XP logo load and it I hear the hard drive running, the next screen is completely white/black. Help!

  Is this the same solution for: in the advanced options of monitor, I selected "do not use this device"?  I tried to update the driver for the monitor and reach for straws when the button 'update driver' has been 'grayed out' (not available).  I have a new HP 2009 flat screen and have just installed XP on a new hard drive.  Monitor worked, although some resolution.  The type of monitor has been defined as "default monitor" and driver is VgaSave.  Thank you!

  Along the coast this question, he also started malfunction whenever I click to get a glimpse of my saved images. The preview page opens but does not load correctly. as an art student, is somewhat a problem :/

  help please!

  Why not do a system restore. Take yesterday or the day before, as your restore point.
  How will that help.

  Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
  To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

• Why Vista, appearance settings of the changes in the system of windows by itself?

  Whenever I open the Control Panel, I can have a bet to see how I find the appearance of the window: large icons, small icons, details...
  The same is true for the main Explorer Windows: sometimes there are "Preview", exactly as I left it the last time I turned on the computer, sometimes others not.
  And so on...
  I'm afraid that this behavior is not normal, is it?

  Incidentally: no, it not there no malware as far as I know (checked with more of a suite antivirus).

• Window appearance settings went irreversible to classic windows!

  So I just opened my laptop and saw I had the classic windows theme. I tried to go back to vista Basic or standard, but it keeps telling me that "the Visual styles could not be applied. I looked at some forums (seems to me that the problem is seen quite often), but I seem to be the only one where the theme reset in the management of the computer does not work. Whenever I'm trying to choose a vista theme, the preview is all black and it keeps giving me the same error message. Help someone? (I just did the "microsoft fix it' thingy for aero, and he told me that my version of vista does not support aero.) It's funny, it did until yesterday...)

  If that's what you were doing and it did not help, here are my suggestions:

  1 do a system restore. Choose your point of restoration a few days ago.

  2 make a check of the file system. It's to look for corrupt files. He will try to fix it if it is found.
