  You are limited to what you can find in the system as well as preferences to change the appearance of things.  I'm sure there are some 3rd party hacks that allow you to do what you are looking for, but I don't know what they are, and I defend people never hack the OS anyway, as it's always entirely and completely unpredictable.

• How can I change the language of Windows Vista on Satellite A300-1CO

  last summer, I was in the Portugal and I bought a laptop Toshiba A300-1CO in hopes that we can to change the language to English or Roman without reinstalling Windows.

  Can someone help me?

  Hey Buddy

  Unfortunately, this is not possible.
  It s a Portuguese Vista OS preinstalled and you cannot change the language.
  If you want to use an English Vista the you must buy an original Vista operating system in the English language.

  If you want to use the Vista Enterprise and Ultimate for Vista, then you can download a Pack of MUI (MUI).
  But as a Home Premium user, you can use the interface (MUI).

• Windows Live Essentials, just how to change the colors of windows live calendar? The pastel shades are much too pale!

  The colors of the Windows Live Calendar are really terrible for anyone with a problem that requires more contrast. Surely, there must be a way to increase the contrast on the page using darker more vivid colors. Or all the nerds to Ms not to know that there are a lot of people who really need the contrast gap? I saw that on the last version of Live Mail, it is supposed to be a brush-shaped button, which when pressed would the colors change. Mine has not, however, that or I can't seem to download an update from Ms.

  I'd appreciate any help available

  Thank you.

• Change the language of Windows Vista

  Hello!
  I recently bought a new laptop which brings Windows Vista Edition Family Premium X 64 in English and I would like to change it to Spanish. For what I get there are 2 options to do this, we use MUI (but I can't because my version of Vista Home Premium) and the other between the LIPS. The problem is that it is not a LIP in Spanish available for Windows Vista. So my question is: are there at - it another option (outside of any reinstall)?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  PS: Sorry for my English!

  Change language:

  1. to change your Vista Home Premium English to Spanish, you can buy an English Upgrade Vista Ultimate disk/license.

  Then, download the Pack of Spanish language through Windows Update as an option.

  Vista Ultimate upgrade must be done in the original language Vista came.

  2. your other Option is to buy a FULL version of Vista Home Premium Spanish and do a clean install.

  See you soon.

• How to change the language of windows vista preinstalled on the Satellite L300 - 14 c?

  Hello
  I bought a new Satellite L300 - 14 c in German. When I started the computer, all the option that I was to install the German version. But I don't know the German language.
  What should I do?
  Thank you very much.

  You must buy the operating system on your preferred language, install it. After this visit download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads. There you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities for all European languages.

  Laptops are country specific products and if you have an operating system on another language, that you have to buy one.

• Windows Vista Basic colors - no option to change the colors?

  If I open the appearance settings I have the option to select a color scheme, like that I use which is Windows Vista Basic color scheme. However there seems to be no way to change the colors of the regime. I want to change default bluish tints to something different. If I hit the Advanced button, it has a clunky menu to change the color of windows, fonts, and other. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I changed the colors, but they do not apply in all cases and I'm still stuck with the blue wire.

  What is going on? Is easier to change the colors of the window? It makes no sense to me.

  Thank you

  Tom

  If this does not work, market, the system cannot be activated for color schemes... Here is an article on how to enable this feature in all versions of Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/182471-color-scheme-allow-prevent-change.html.

• HP ENVY 14 LAPTOP - cannot change the color of the menu of win 7

  Right now I know it is a HP support forum but I have a HP laptop and desktop and I really hope someone here can help me really...

  Good one a few months ago I bought a HP Envy 14 laptop and I must say that I really liked it. Then a few days ago, I just bought a HP desktop computer (can tell you I'm a fan of HP) and I love it also.

  Here's my problem...

  On my desk, I decided to change her look, so I installed a custom theme (dark theme) and it changes the appearance of windows 7 and changed the color of the lower menu/taskbar of windows 7 in black and I really liked it. I decided to install this theme on my laptop and everything has changed except for the background color of menu/taskbar of windows 7 botom. For some reason any will not change the color of the menu bit matter what I do.

  I tried to go to:

  Panel-> personalization-> change the color of window glass

  and by selecting a different color but not matter what color I select windows 7 background menu/taskbar does not change it remains just the grayish color of say her since I got the laptop.

  Now, why this work on my desktop but not on my laptop?

  There must be a setting on windows 7 that prevents me to change the color of the lower menu/taskbar. Still worse firefox is horrible. I can not change the appearance of firefox, whenever I have try and install a new firefox theme does not change. On my desk, I installed a dark theme for firefox 11 (the Nasa Night Launch) theme and it worked very well but for some reason any on my laptop, nothing seems to work just...

  I really hope that someon can help me with this because it makes me crazy...

  I want to thank you all for your time and help,

  gh0st-HP

  DragonFur, I want to thank you for your time and your answers, you should know that it meant a lot to me.

  After doing a lot of work and trial and error, I finally found a solution to this problem...

  I did a lot of googling and research and what I found is that there are many people out there who are owners of laptop HP Envy 14 who have trouble changing the color of their windows 7 start menu/taskbar or with the taskbar is not not transparent.

  Here are some of the things I tried.

  1 Installing different themse (did not work)

  2. Update driver for ati radeon 5650 graphics card (did not work)

  3 tried to adjust areo ensuring transparency has been activated (did not work)

  4. tried to bios update (did not work)

  5 tried to use a program to change the color of the bar tasks (did not work)

  What I ended up doing is creating a new user to the administrator and when I created this account is a program called "stardock mypaint" come asking me if I wanted to use this program to change the original theme for windows. When I said this software to change the original theme of windows 7, it changed my taskbar to the greyish appearance, it was the same off-white color I had on my account I tried to change. So I went back to my account and I searched for the program "stardock mypaint" and I have disabled this theme and then he changed my windows operating system 7 to an original blue theme but the taskbar was transparent! Then I went into my themes and changed the theme I wanted and my taskbar has changed color and transparency! Needless to say I was so happy.

  I really hope that this post will really help someone else who is trying to solve this problem...

  HP I really hope that maybe you guys can watch this program "Stardock MyPaint" which I think may be for HP Envy 14 laptop computers and allow users to know that the use of this program can affect other issues.

  Isn't funny how the solution to the problem is always the simplest answer...

  I knew there was something in the windows that kept my taskbar to be transparent and changing colors and it turns out it was a program of HP.

  Yet once I really hope this helps someone else out there and I'm hoping that HP employees this will read so maybe they can help each other if someone falls on this problem.

  DragonFur, thanks again for your help...

• How to change the language of Windows in Windows Vista?

  I am trying to print something in black & white. I went to the print page to change the color. Language changed from English to French (or Italian?). I've never changed the language & worry how it changed. How can I change it back to English?

  Hello

  Please try to change the language of the document, and then try to print the document in the appropriate language.  If the document has been changed to the language proper, but it is still printing in English, please inform me accordingly.  If you are unable to change the language, please check the version of Windows Vista that you are running.  Also, if you would please check the type of document (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Adobe PDF).  In Word, there should be an option of translation to translate the language to the language of your choice.  If you please you would follow with me at your convenience, I would be very apprecite it.

  If that's the word, simply highlight the police and the content of the document and right click.  There should be an option called translate.  Click on this option.  Select the appropriate language and insert text.  It will then replace the previous text with text of your choice.

  -Create an another user account and check if you still experience this issue.
