I want to enjoy my AVERAGE, normal windows XP themes to return (Please read details)

Please read all the details: I use Windows XP SP3 (but not sure if it was 1 SP2 or not) but my problem I want to set immediately (or as soon as possible [but with all my hope we hope immediately] this) is my Windows XP themes. The computer I use used to be my parents computer that they again around mid-2007 with Windows XP (and he never ran any more recent or older operating system) and sometimes while our computer guy was setting for them back year last in ' 09 and when he did it is in Classic view and since it is stuck there. If I go to display properties in the themes tab and go to the menu drop down it says all my themes are there, but when I click on Windows XP, everything returns to normal with the exception of the Windows & buttons they remain classic Windows. now in my tab bevelling in the display properties on my top menu drop-down I have only an option for the classic Windows style (of course, all the color schemes are there and sizes of fonts. also if I change a color scheme, the size of the police, or both on my windows & buttons that it will stick when I return to themes tab and select Windows XP. this problem is in all user accounts) even new, I create just I tried EVERYTHING I can think and really want this problem resolved as soon as possible (I hope immediately)

I'd give a juice like to post that I gave up looking for help & decided I will save all files on this computer and do a full system restore & hope it works

  • I don't even know what to call this problem with Windows 7! Can someone please read and help?

    Hi all

    What is c?

    I have half a dozen problems with Windows 7 right now, but let's start with the most irritating.  Screens disappear and reappear.

    I'll open a window and then open another (at the same time) for a reason, and if I don't have my mouse entirely on whatever the window, it "disappears".  That is, it will become transparent with just sort of 'framework' around him.  The content is gone.  But they come back.  It makes the idea behind 'Windows' laughable.

    And try to block and the copy is a nightmare of one window to the other.  Or even on the same page.  I try to block something and move away, and the "block" disappears.

    I thought it might be my mouse, which is your ordinary Microsoft Optical Mouse 2V.0, I went to devices and printers and formatted my mouse (I've never done this before) and my Microsoft Keyboard and recorded.  Nothing wrong with the keyboard.  The mouse just kept screwing as it did before, and I used your basic standard settings - nothing fancy or different.

    Now I write in this little place and nothing is to move, the mouse behaves - what IS IT?

    I am getting this problem in Windows 7 because honestly, I have no idea where else to put it.

    And I have just started with the problems.  Can you please, please, please help?

    I can't help but think that all the problems are related, so I'll put one little summary of what else is happening.

    1 out of nowhere part, I got a notice saying that I had to change the settings to allow Windows update immediately and without my permission (I think that's what he said and I know that there is a setting in devices and printers? or something like that where I allow edits without review)

    2. I can't convince my printer there is NO residential group and that I am the administrator and the only person using the computer.  This screw with my settings (wired) network too.

    3. I have a four-in-one printer (print, copy, scan and fax).  I am at home lately and will be years apparently, so I decided that I wanted to get the printer scanner and fax.  He was already printing and copying.  I turned off, unplugged and did not know that I had to uninstall all software and then reinstall it.  I don't have the time to do it again; I want a clean computer before you set up the printer.  Well, it seems to create small problems in the world.  I keep getting directed to devices and printers, but I want to read all the information before I uninstall just in case.

    4 modules!  They are the bane of my existence.  I do not understand what they are doing when I go and look at them individually. I tried to use IE10 without addons and it's just a big headache.

    5 constantly getting a yellow banner at the bottom of my screen asking me if I want to run * some * and I wanted to know the risks involved.

    6. constantly asked about Active X.  What is it and what does want of me?

    7. all of a sudden an hour ago, my computer has decided to go to "sleep" mode and wants me to change user for myself and when I do, it says it is locked, but I hit the beautiful image and it opens on the regular Windows screen.  WHY?  I don't use a screen saver and I got 20 minutes sleep mode which is just the entire dark screen until I touch the mouse.  No more!

    Guys do you see why I'm going crazy?  Help, please!  I spend all my days this last week and one before that trying to move things.  All this because I wanted my printer to scan.

  • Ive got a question for Windows Vista Home Premium? Please read.

    When I bought a computer 2 years ago, is it came with Windows Vista Home Premium reinstall cd. The computer that comes with it is a gateway Gt5411E and im wondering if the installation cd will work on a new build machine what im doing right now. Thanks for the help

    This record is for the gateway only computer.

    Read this:

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

  • Sometimes I want to just close ONLY a window, but Firefox closes all THE TABS, and I don't want to!

    Sometimes, I open multiple windows, especially from my box from Comcast. When I'm through with this window, I will conclude, but leave others more open. FIrefox won't do this anymore when I close the 1 window, Firefox send me a message stating that it is to CLOSE all THE TABS. I DON'T want TO CLOSE all of them, I want to just close the window I close!.

    Can I download it from the HP site?

    Yes, both...

    How the MS download tool usually does is it checks that you have already installed when you run the download tool to make sure that you download the same version.

    But since you have to use another PC to download, just be sure that you download the SAME VERSION of Win10 you have on the PC.

    Hello

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

    If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.
