Impossible to change anything in the "window color and appearance".

Hello.

Something happened to my computer a while ago, that made me unable to see or edit certain elements in windows.
Please see image attached:
It seems that my DPI setting is too high so that the text and the content of a window does not.
These windows cannot be resized or scrolled so I'm in a dead end.
I tried to change the DPI setting of 100-150%. Does nothing for me.
Does anyone have a solution that does not involve a complete reinstall? What can I do with the registry to bring any default return?
Thanks in advance! :)
Thanks for your reply BearPup.
Graphic design, I use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign products.
In color management, I have no assigned profile. If this is the one, you hear:
You can clearly see my problem with dialog boxes in this screenshot.
The contect doesn't fit the box.
I tried changing the settings of compatibility for all of my Adobe products, unfortunately there is nothing.
going to try a repair of Windows Installer now.
Edit:
Impossible to find anything else related to my problem, but a repair installation has worked for me.

  • I can't customize my window color and appearance to change the transparency and color of the window.

    Tuesday night I had to re-charge/reinstall Windows Vista because I had some problems with the worms and Trojans. After that I have re-installed Windows, I was able to customize my resolution and my window color and appearance. Once I installed all the 106 updates of Windows, I was finally able to change my resolution but I still not able to change my window color and appearance. Before I reloaded Windows I could change the transparency of the windows and taskbar and the tone of the colors, etc., but now all I can choose themes default and such of older versions of Windows. I was told that after I downloaded and installed all the updates, I'd be able to do, but I'm still not able to do. Is there a reason why and is there a any solution for this? Drivers? Material? Thank you. :) I hope this has been detailed enough.

    Hi Nicole,.

    In the services dialog box, double-click the themes service. On the Recovery tab, set the first and second failure of the drop-down lists "restart the service". If she is still unable to start/restart, open the event viewer for Windows Logs\System and locate the failure event. Post back with the information found here.

  • Message box color settings disabled when you use the dialog "Windows color and appearance".

    When you use the configuration dialog box 'Window color and appearance', why are there color settings invalid?  I want to remove the default 'Pastel Pink' value that I find unacceptable.

    I can switch to "Classic Windows" that uses no pastel pink color, but "Classic Windows" does not support "Aero Peek", and the windows look pretty tired.  You can only take "Classic Windows" for many years.

    Color settings are disabled for: buttons, Message box, title of Palette, scroll bar.

    Help, please!

    Me too I'm frustrated by that.   Found the old windows with very honest XP environment.   I used the advanced settings, but has not found a way to save the changes with a label, so I knew that the changes you made.   It is just Frigging trial and error and very frustrating.

    Why are there no way to return either to the default value (not found a default label) or save the settings changed under a name?    It is a productivity KILLER.

    Hello

    Interface user of Windows 7 is theme based. The colors are defined by the theme.

    You still have many color options that can be used to change the colors.

    Right click on the desktop and select Personalize. Click on the color of the window at the bottom of the window box.

    You can select one of the colors in the boxes colored at the top.

    Adjust the intensity of the color with the cursor.

    Click on the color down mixer and you can a lot of variations on all the different color choices.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Windows Color and Appearance - NO AERO

    When I right click on the desktop and choose customization, then choose Windows color and appearance, it is the classic Windows Properties dialogue.  There is no other choice for Aero.  Under themes, I have TWO choices that say Windows Vista and I tried both, but none work.  I can't return the choice of advanced Vista color (the screen with transparency option) no matter what I try.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Start the Windows Services

    1. click on Start, type services.msc in the Search bar and press ENTER.

    2. If you are prompted by user account control , click continue.

    3. now locate the services mentioned previously (2).

    4. If they are not currently enabled them right click and select Start.

    Let us know if this was the cause of this problem.

  • How can I change or modify the windows logon screen?

    I want to change the image and the sound at startup of windows

    Hi, Germain,.

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you wish to change or modify the Windows logon screen and also, you want to change the sound of the system. I will help you in this problem.

    For the opening of window screen:

    Change the logon screen background is not supported by default in Windows 7. You will need to consult a 3rd party program.

    Note:

    With the help of third-party software or a link, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third party software or link can be resolved. Using third-party software or a link is at your own risk.

    For the Windows startup sound:

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    (a) click Start, select Control Panel, sounds and click on tab "sounds".
     
    From there, you can select the individual and change them in the drop-down list of the default sounds provided by Windows. If you want your own sound select it using Browse. Remember that it should be in format WAV for Windows to run. After you click apply and Ok.
     

    I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  • Keeps changing between the stroke color and fill color? Help!

    Hello world! While working, I have will have to draw the outline of something and then changes to color in, and as I do, I'm changing the fill color using the eyedropper tool, or the Swatches palette. Still my color doesn't seem to change.

    I expect the colors chosen, and it's because for some reason, the program has my color trait selected automatically, even if I use the paint bucket tool, which means that me changing colors is only to change the line color and so, having no effect on the fill color - so I'm frantically clicking to color something with my newly selected color , with does not, because that I do not change the fill color as I thought I did.

    What it seems to boil down to is, SOMETIMES when I draw or change a line, he commutes to line color, and change back when I use the eyedropper and paint bucket tools, as it did in Flash, nice and convenient. Is there a way to prevent it from doing this? Is there a way to make it how it used to be? It really starts to get exasperating.

    Other than I really like the new step up to Animate - the new tools and little more pleasant little General updates do and I want to thank Adobe for him--and make it clear that I am not at all ungrateful for her.

    Thanks in advance.

    Colin thanks for the tip, I could now clearly see the video!

    As Colin described - to 0.34 video, you select the part of the circle (stroke) that modifies the active fill color to the color of the outline (you can identify the active color looking at the State of the fill/stroke button in the tools Panel or color)

    The choice of the color swatch in the swatches Panel is the color of the outline (i.e. to the active color). You can just click Fill on the stage with the selection tool to change the active color to fill and begin your selection Swatch reflects in the painting of your filling.

    The main thing is, if you select only STROKE on stage the active color is set to the race and if you select only fill then the active color is the Fill value. Swatches Panel and color Panel will work to the active color.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you!

  • Cannot copy or paste anything in the windows on a Windows 8.0 machine directory

    I recently met the following problem in Windows 8.0 and 8.1 of Windows.  I can't copy a file in the Windows directory without system asking me permission to copy a file in the Windows directory and the c:\ drive (root).  The UAC is disabled and the machine restarted.  In addition, the user is a local administrator.  Also, is causing problems because we use BACK scripts and programs that should be able to write to the windows directory.  Sometimes we can get around that in click with the right button on the program we want to run such as the BACK of window command or program and make RunAs adminstrator.  In addition, some BACK scripts must be able to things that only an administrator can do.  Why is it that happens since UAC is enabled and the user is an administrator?
