My custom & sounds model desktop theme get screwed up everytime I reboot

WinXP Pro, SP3.  I deleted all the files, index.dat... including those in system32 & profile system.  I use a classic desktop theme.  Whenever I have restart now, it's a cross between classic & Office XP.  I also lose my sound scheme.  I right click on desktop, choose Properties/themes.  Next, I need to change a theme, I want & then change it back.  I must also go to the configuration/sound Panel & return to my sound scheme.  Of course, I screwed up.

I've already restored a full backup that occurred before I messed up, but that did not help.  What can I do to fix this?
Thanks, Phil

Thank you, Slim.  It didn't work, but it has led me to the correct answer.  I already had my computer configured for optimal performance.  It seems that my desktop theme is not fully restored when I reboot.  I just saved my correct parameters with a new theme & now Windows will start to that.

    I think I uninstalled my sound how do I get it back

    Hi Sholonda,

    Please answer these questions:

    1. are you referring to the audio card drivers?

    2 did you receive any error messages or codes?

    3 what is the make and model of the computer?

    4 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I would like that you go into the Device Manager and check if the sound card is working. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + R and type devmgmt.msc and press enter to open the Device Manager.

    b. develop sound, video and game controllers and right click on the audio card drivers.

    c. select Properties , and then check to see if the device works properly under Device Status.

    Is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside, then it indicates that there are some problems with this driver.

    You can see the steps in the following link:

  • Vista Service Pack 2 mess up Desktop theme?

    I installed Vista SP2 (this is a 32-bit version on a computer laptop Dell xps) yesterday and my desktop theme now looks like a bad version of the pixelated in windows classic.  The Start button is square, the taskbar are gray, and no matter what the Explorer window I open has a clear and white background.  The Panel on a white background looks terrible.

    I tried to go to the "change theme" option in the Control Panel, I know that the I have the choice between "classic windows" and "my theme updated the.  They both have exactly the same, and honestly, they seem pretty bad.  The 'Windows Vista' theme option disappeared!

    Uninstall the service pack has not helped at all.  Is that what my office messed up forever?

    Thanks for your help!  Hope this can be fixed, I liked my computer as it was before!

  • Windows sync my desktop theme, Favorites and my other laptop search engine

    Hello

    I just upgraded one of my computers from Windows 7 to Windows 8. E-mail address after the upgrade of Windows 8, I logged in with my Hotmail. After doing that it seems that Windows sync my desktop theme, Favorites and search engine of my other laptop.

    I expected a clean install. I wanted to start from scratch with this computer.

    Y at - it anyway to disable the function of wells between computers.

    The other computer I have Windows 8 running is infected by malicious software and the browser is hijacked. It seems that the browser hijacking had been reduced to my new computer during synchronization. Both computers are now almost unusable.

    If I reinstall Windows 8 is possible to turn off synchronization so that it will not happen again.

    Thank you, Brett

  • JTable with custom column model and model table does not display the table header

    Hello

    I create a JTable with a custom table model and a custom column template. However the table header is not displayed (Yes, it's in a get). I have narrowed the problem down in one compilable example:

    Thanks for your help.
    import javax.swing.*;

    See http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/table/TableColumn.html#setHeaderValue (java.lang.Object)
    When the TableColumn is created, the default headerValue is null
    So the header ends up rendered empty label (probably of size 0 if the JTable calculates its size of header based on the size of the default rendering tool).

    It worked:

         private static DefaultTableColumnModel createTestColumnModel()
         {
              DefaultTableColumnModel columnModel=new DefaultTableColumnModel();
                    TableColumn col = new TableColumn(0);
                    col.setHeaderValue("Header Title");
              columnModel.addColumn(col);
                    return columnModel;
         }

  • I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

  • I have problems with of the Subvi after the use of customized device model

    I used to start my machine personalized customized device model and I got success in the deployment until I started to do more complicated the Subvi.   I am currently trying to convert low FPGA and high ticks to the duty cycle, but for some reason when I add it to the RT VI "Data read of HW" driver, it seems to cause a downtime... ideas? Is a circuit agree? I have added a time delay but I am still having problems. It is a device online, so I'm suspicious of it hogging resources, but am not sure.

    Attached images are meant to be read like this:

    1. the case of the RT pilot ReadDataFromHW

    2. it's the Subvi calling ToDutyCycle SIMStimPWMSubVI

    3 ShiftRegister.PNG is inside the Subvi.

    As a robotician I celebrate early and often (usually by a failure or two...), but it seems that the answer was to transform fundamentally the While loop for a loop with a count of 1 and then remove the additional elements to ensure that each shift register has that one and then right click on the shift registers and convert at the Feedback node...
    I was able to deploy to VeriStand as a custom device and it runs and calculates the factor of use with no problems. WOOHOO! Where - what is celebrate button!

    Step 2: If the problem not in safe mode then put the computer to boot.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
