• Changed Windows style/theme

  Theme or style of the appearance of windows changed.  Looks like in a old computer theme and style, that is, the Start button is more round, but rectangular and many other fundamental changes.  Option in WindowsOther user account has not been affected by the change.   Options in Windows Color and appearance have changed.  Looks like an old XP type options.  That's happened?  How do go back to what it was?

  I found the answer myself: Director of Windows desktop has been turned off.  Also, I had to restart themes.  These two have been set in the Services.  Find my answers here:

  First answer here partially fixed:

  Second part was here... instead of stop Windows Desktop Manager, I restarted:

  But now I know what to do to speed up Vista.  Stop or disable everything I just restarted!  Strangely enough, it's... Why this change first?

• Why my windows Vista processer became the classic windows processor?

  My computer is 64-bit of Windows Vista. When using my computer, it changed randomly one day of vista taskbar and the classic model for the old. I tried to change the settings of vista, but even in doing so, it is classic. An example of what is happened is that I tried to play a computer game (Warcraft III), and I played on this computer before it changed. in any case, I'd just reinstalled today and under where it says installation it says "the game is not compatible with Windows NT. I then try to start the game and it made going to the loading screen then "not responding". Windows NT is the old processor of 1993, and I was wondering if my computer messed up and considering this isn't Vista more. If anyone has any ideas on what's exactly happened to my computer please let me know.

• How change windows and not lose the drivers and programs?

  Hey guys want to just ask,

  I acres, I bought it with windows 7 Home premium installed but I bought windows 7 ultimate and I want to change the windows, but the only thing that I'm worried about is when I format the HHD of re - install windows ill lose programs Acre, how can I keep after I re - install windows?

  Is it possible that I can get a copy on USB or something?

  Thank you

  Your laptop must have a backup or restore utility to create the restore disks - in general, the options are to create a set of disks that are going to do a full factory restore and a disc is just the drivers and the software.

  Click on the start menu, then all programs and see if there is an Acer folder that contains this utility.  If she is not there, your next option would be to go here, look to the top of your system, and then click tab to download the manual and see if there are instructions for creating a backup.

• Unable to remove/change WINDOWS $. ~ BT preventing the installation of Windows 7.

  I was installing Windows 7, and, after several attempts, where he met an error 0 x 080070570, I deleted the three folders in the C: drive starting by ' $', as shown in http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/thread/2ebae9fe-e99b-40db-8fde-a14d6eea69f7/?prof=required&wa=wsignin1.0

  This time, he got up to 20% on the stage of 'Collection programs' installation, when the installation stops suddenly. An error message appears, saying that "Module of Installation Windows", or something to that extent, has encountered an error and stopped. I tried to restart the installation, but the installer of Windows 7 said that it could not crush the $WINDOWS. ~ BT file. It was one of the files that I had previously deleted. I tried to remove it, but I denied permission. I'm on an administrator account running Windows Vista SP1. Now, the installation does not start even upward. What can I do?

  Hello Dudboy,

  You will need to take ownership of the file.  This section here give a few steps that you can use to try to take ownership of the file in question to proceed with the upgrade.

• My Vista theme, replaced by the classic theme of the Windows while it's self from one day to the next.

  Last night, I used my computer and everything was fine. I used it up to this as 02:00, and everything was fine. When I got up at 8 this morning to get ready for work, I did my usual ritual (bathroom, breakfast, facebook, shower, leaves), and when I got to the part of facebook, I turned on my laptop and noticed he was in the classic view. I searched through every place I can think of (all settings for themes and personalization Control Panel) and found nothing. In particular, when I went to "Change theme" it only shows "Windows classic" as the only option. It bothers me because I hate the Windows Classic view. I mean, it does not affect the functionality of the computer, he looks really old and it's annoying that it cannot be corrected.

  Hello

  The themes service may be having a problem and stopped, we will check:

  1. Windows key + R, in the Run dialog box type services.msc

  2. once in Services, find themes, double click it and make sure that it is set to Automatic and started. If this isn't the case, fix and start it.

  Kind regards

• How to enable the interaction of the alt - tab mouse in the classic theme of Windows 7?

  In the Aero theme, you can select the alt - tab application by mouse. In the classic theme, you can not...

  Please do not start answer me wondering why not just use Aero already.

  I didn't Power Toy did this, but they were parallel projects by programmers bored (literally), so the company never officially it will use in production code.

  I just realized something however: If you just click on the thing you want to change anyway, why not simply click on the button in the taskbar? Just a random thought, although I suppose that if the program has more than one window/tab open, you then have to point-and - click.  Or you might disable combining the taskbar, but personally I don't like myself.
  With performance improvements and reliability gained by Aero (as well as other features like live and other preview), I would say that if you are looking for a style of eye candy than simply disable transparency and see how it works for you.
  @ jesuscheung - I think that it is possible to display a classic style using the DWM rendering engine, but since there is no default theme that looks like this, you can use StarDock WindowBlinds (or a similar application) who can apply skins.

• Taskbar Windows Vista Home Premium, changed to the classic color scheme after update.

  For some reason any my menu of the taskbar and start suddenly changed to the classic system of windows.

  I am running Windows Home Premium and have attempted to reverse to the standard vista scheme through customization > window color and appearance, but has only Windows Classic as an option.

  I also right click on the bar of tasks and disappeared on properties in this way, it shows the taskbar as the standard version of Vista but the taskbar is still in basic.

  I used the diagnosis of DirectX tool tests to see if an error has caused this, but it does not revisit what whatsoever, and my laptop recognizes that it runs Windows Home Premium.

  Also tried to restart, but nothing changes...

  The only thing that I think may be linked to this is after a recent update of the last time that I closed my laptop, but I don't see what update it was.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  I found that if you go to the computer, right click on it, go on manage, then go to Services on the left column, scroll down to find topics, left-click and then in the upper left of this part of the screen there is a link to restart the Service, click , click on it, it will restart the service for the themes. Once she had him restart the service for the themes, right click on your desktop, go into customize and if you change your theme, your Vista Basic theme should be back. I hope this helps someone.

• How can I run the classic theme?

  I read a lot of books, and as far as I understood I should use the personalization Control Panel item. But there is no such an element anywhere on my control panel. Why? Is it possible to have the classic theme somehow in my case?

  I heard about Windows 7 "Home Basic".  I haven't found any information on the Microsoft Web site Center, but found this comparison seven forums [an independent site that often provides good information & tips]

  Compare editions of Windows 7

  This list confirms that you don't have any customization facilities and therefore cannot choose all the themes.  They say that you can change the wallpaper by right-clicking on an image you have and select set as wallpaper.  I think you would need to find an image that is the same size as your laptop screen [possibly 1366 x 768 pixels - it will be set by the manual of your PC] but this will not do what you were after anyway.

  Now, I think that I was wrong to suggest searching the Internet for a workaround for you to set themes.  In another thread on the Forums of seven, regular contributors someone kept basic attention that none of these workarounds actually works for the home edition [and I recognized the usernames of the contributors as people who give good advice].

  So, I'm sorry, but it seems that you will not be able to do what you wanted.

  I can explain two things that you may find useful:

  1 you can set Windows Explorer to open up to another folder, for example, your user [C:\Users\yourusername\Documents] folders instead of libraries.  Would not interest you do not use libraries [didn't].

  2 I can also explain how to set up a menu system that behaves like those in the WinXP start with groups of folder menus that fly off as you hover over them.  Here is an illustration of this

  

  So if either of them might help you, just say & I'll write the instructions. Not that I go to bed as soon as I've finished writing this response - that's almost 01:00 for me.

  All the best,
