2. navigate to the registry key:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop".

3. click on the desktop; on the right pane, locate the DWORD "PaintDesktopVersion.
4. right-click on it and select Edit.
5 change the value to 0. Close the registry editor and restart the computer.

-Value is equal to "0" deletes the Windows version of office.

If the logo Windows Vista Starter is set as desktop wallpaper, follow the steps to change the desktop background.

  • Failed to retrieve, I'm doing a full restore on my Windows Vista desktop

    I'm doing a full restore on my Windows Vista desktop. When I click Start on recovery management, another box appears called Microsoft .NET framework. I hit continue, but it won't allow me to clikc OK to start recovery... At the end of the box, it is said when JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    These are the normal methods to use the process of recovery of the manufacturer:

    1. in a Vista operating system running, using the process of recovery of the manufacturer (Recovery Management, etc.), you use apparently.

    2. to start by pressing a particular key or set of keys (F10, F11, etc) according to the installer from the manufacturer...

    3. using the recovery disks provided, or the recovery discs that you made of their recovery Partition.

    If you cannot access or use one of these methods, you will need to ask for assistance from your computer manufacturer while the recovery process is installed by them, not by Microsoft.

    See you soon.

  • How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

    How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

    Hello Bob Zientak,.

    If a password is required to log on your system, then you won't be able to cirumvent it. Unfortunately the users of this forum are also not allowed to suggest ways to help you bypass (hack) the password (3668Microsoft Terms and Conditions).

    Remember passwords are case sensitive so maybe that you type a password in the case of bad? Did you create a password recovery disk when you created your password first? If Yes, then you must insert the password recovery disk to allow you to change the current password. If you did not create a password recovery disk then the next and more radical, opion is to re - install Windows.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Windows Vista desktop appearance is not the way it should look like

    I turned on my computer today and after that he started up - everything seemed liked Windows 98! What the devil? But some things like Word are always format Widows Vista - it's like a hybrid of old and new. My computer is a HP 2010 and when I bought it - it had installed Vista. Why is the theme of silver/gray old school Windows 98 on my office when it was never installed in the first place? And how can I change? Or is it a virus? so weird.

    * original title - Windows Vista or Windows 98 or both? What the devil? *

  • Windows Vista hangs at startup

    I had a problem with Windows Vista in the past months where it hangs on a blue screen or crashes at startup. Usually, I need to restart the computer several times before I'm finally able to get on the desktop and then it works fine after that. I went as far as when you run a restore complete system twice, but the problem persists. Thinking that maybe that's a hardware problem, I ran a diagnostic equipment on the memory, video card, hard drive, motherboard and all other hardware components but the diagnostic equipment can find nothing wrong.

    Here is my system configuration:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
    Hewlet Packard AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core processor 5600 + 2.80 GHx
    Hard drive 500 GB
    3 GB RAM
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE card

    Any help is appreciated.

    In administrative tools, choose the reliability and performance monitor and
    Click on MonitoringTools then the reliability monitor (type of reliability in research
    at startup). This list is a chart of the software installs, uninstalls, Windows
    updates and crashes by date. See if your plant started to occur after
    you installed or uninstalled something.
     
    In the control panel select Problem Reports and Solutions (problem of type in)
    The START searchbox), go to the history of the problem, your mistake right click and choose
    Check the Solution.
     
    Also get details of your crash blue screen of problem reports and
    Solutions and post it here.
     
    The two causes of blue screens are defective drivers or hardware failure.
     
    Try these steps to remove defects of hardware that Windows can detect (I
    not sure what you did before).
     
    Type of memory in the start search box, and select Memory Diagnostic and then restart.
    Normal and advanced race. This will take a few minutes.
     
    In computer discs right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab.
    then click on check now. Check that the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will
    take from one day to the next.

  • Windows Vista desktop refreshes, said the service is not running

    OK, I'm not very good with computers but learning a lot since mine has messed up. I have a desktop running Windows Vista. The computer his car slowed dow a LOT recently. I ran antivirus and malware. She had detected things and withdrawn. Still not making a faster. I tried to run an update and it says that the serivce is not running and the need to restart the computer. I did it several times and it always remains the same. Also the antivirus to update custom because he says there is a problem with the internet... but I'm not having any problem getting on the internet other then its slowness. Somewhere tells us about the service names and default paths and another says to format and reinstall Windows... anyway I have NO IDEA of what I need to do. Would appreciate any help. This is a computer that I use every day. And an antivirus may have expired between getting a new, I do not know if what counts. Also it is not updated since the beginning of September, because even the automatic update will not work. Yet once any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sorry if it's a little confusing because I don't know how else to describe this.

    Try the methods provided below and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    If you can't find a file you're looking for, it could have been recorded in or moved to a different folder than you expected, or the file had been sent to the trash.

    You can start the search for the file by using the search folder, but you can also get the file by inspecting folders where you think the file is likely to be.

  • 7.15 Skype on Windows Vista freezes on startup

    I've updated to Skype latest version 7.14 and 7.15 on my Windows Vista and after this update, Skype starts ever upward. Even if he starts, he ends up Skype closes with a problem. Completely uninstalled and resinstalled, checked the updates of windows, then all the FAQ, but not luck.

    After a session with an agent of Skype screen sharing and proving that this problem only occurs with the recent version, he was able to recognize this bug with 7.14 + version. I have download the old version and it started to work very well. Today, when I've updated my Skype to 7.17.0.105 version on Windows Vista, looks like Microsoft/Skype has listened to the bug report and have it fixed! Hooray! Thank you, dear friends. In addition, it seems they have fixed another bug where we sign out of Skype, it took too much time to finally get back to the login screen and has hosted the Windows machine during this process. Double Kudos to the team for fixing this loooooooooooooooooooooong pending correction of problem!
