My screen background color has changed and it is difficult to see things clearly in Windows Explorer.

screen background color

My screen background color took a deep blue tint which is whenever I visit a Web site, or windows Explorer. Therefore, it is difficult to see clearly. All solutions?

Hello Richardtopping

Here is a list of steps to change not only the color of office, but the background as well. You can also view this information from the listed source here.

Change your desktop background (wallpaper)

Your wallpaper (also called wallpaper) can be a digital picture from your personal collection or one that comes with Windows. You can also select a color for your background or use a color to frame your background image.

 
Windows comes with a lot of background choice of screen
To change the wallpaper

  1. Open the wallpaper by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, appearance and customization, personalization, and then clicking desktop wallpaper.

  2. Click on the image or color you want for your desktop background.

    If the image you want to use is not in the list of background images to display, click the location of the image downwards arrow to view other categories, or click Browse to find the picture on your computer. When you find the image of your choice, double-click it. It will become your desktop wallpaper and appear in the list of desktop backgrounds.

  1. Search for photos in other locations on your computer
  2. Under how the image must be positioned, choose to have the picture to fit the screen, tile, or being centered on the screen and then click OK.

Note

If you choose to have a picture centered as your wallpaper, you can also have a color background to frame your picture. Under How should be placed the image, click on change the background color, click a color, and then click OK.

Tip

You can make an image stored on your computer (or a picture you are currently viewing) your desktop background by right-clicking on the image, then click on set as wallpaper.

 
Right click on an image to set it as the desktop background

  • The appearance has changed, and even the Start button is no longer a circle but the former rectangle that says start after the installation of an update.

    I recently installed an update of Windows for Vista.  The appearance has changed and even the Start button is no longer a circle but the former rectangle that says start.  How can I get the old look back with on the uninstallation of the update?  Thank you

    Original title: updates

    Hello

    It seems that the update was for graphics, as it changed the appearance

    If the update is the problem, you will need to remove it or download and reinstall the graphics driver from your computer or the manufacturer of the graphical Web site map.

    _________________________________________

    Read this information about updates:

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

  • "The device has changed and no output channel is present. Open Audio hardware preferences? »

    Hello

    I installed an infusion of SSD and fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit, including the installation of Adobe CC with premiere pro and other related applications. My audio works fine, I have a portable speaker connected to the back of the audio 'line in the green plug' at the back of my office, have not had any problems with her.

    However when opening Adobe PP for the first time I get the message "the device has changed and no output channel is present. You want to open the Audio hardware preferences. At the opening of the entry default preference reads "no devices available (does not). I was unable to change the value by default using the box entrance, but was able to change the default output. I changed the default output to ' speakers (device 2-high definition audio) and after that I got an error that read "sorry a serious error has occurred which caused Adobe PP stopped." We will try to save your work)".

    Is anyone able to help with this, I don't know how to set up the audio setting is all new to me. Also do not know why this has happened given my audio works fine in any other program that I use on my pc. Any help from an expert on this forum would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joel.IMAG6050_1.jpg

    My first guess is to check and possibly update the audio driver.
