  • Vista taskbar has changed when I edited the Start Up Programs

    I edited my programs from starting with msconfig to speed up my computer. I tried to not disable the programs that I recognized as useless or that there are 'arrested' said status so I knew that I didn't need them. However, when I rebooted my computer my Vista taskbar and accompanying effects vista are dumbed down for a classic look.

    I already checked the properties, and is not the problem. As far as I can tell that my NVidia is fine I missed that in the boot options. I think I turned off a Windows program that kept my Vista from the normal search.

    Any advice?  I would rather not system restore because I would always go back and change my start and maybe go back to the same program.  Does anyone know the programs that combine with Vista?

    Hello

    That you disable?

    A process of elimination should work - reactivate 1/2 - If the problem is corrected then disble 1/2
    -If the problem has not been corrected, then try the other 1/2. Or use system restore
    and start over by removing only 1 at a time - or a few and so on.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Comintern,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You receive an error message or error code?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

     

    Method 1:

     

    Step 1: Start in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

     

    Step 2: If the problem does not occur in safe mode, you can put your system to boot (in normal mode) to solve the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

     

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know the results.

  • Taskbar in Vista update changed to scroll

    After the execution of an update to Vista my bar tasks has changed so that I have to use up and down arrows to scroll to see my current tasks rather than display them in the taskbar.  It's very embarrassing and I can't find a way to change this in the taskbar properties so that I can see all my tasks in the taskbar.  Does anyone know how to return to the appearance of the normal task bar?  Thank you.  I think it was a HP update and not a microsoft update.

    So, since none of the resident geeks have bothered to help, I thought about it: you must click with the right button on the taskbar, uncheck "Lock the taskbar", then drag the dots representing the left edge of the taskbar as you want.  I have no idea why the HP update has caused, but this fixed it for me.  But you should probably re - lock if you want to keep it normal again.  See you soon!

  • New update of Windows Vista has changed the display including the taskbar settings

    Last night, my computer is kept up-to-date on my computer that I did not authorize.  I am running a virus scan.  I do not notice any difference (in fact, the computer seems to work better), but the taskbar like Windows 98.  I spent under properties and tried to change the theme, but only classic Windows is available.  Please tell me how I can change my taskbar.  It is quite annoying.

    I also had this problem, the problem disappeared after a second reboot immediately after the update. I hope I could help

  • Upgrade XP to Vista Ultimate changed EVERYTHING?

    When my father came to our family computer, he said that the BONE was "Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005", then after a guy at a local PC Repair place deleted a virus I have my father (who knows nothing of the virus), it says that the OS was "Windows XP Professional". Yesterday, my buddy Paul sisters gave us the disks to upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate.

    I watch the drivers now that it is installed and WTF! :
    1 display adapter listed changed to Standard VGA Graphics Adapter Nvidia GTS 450 (graphics card)? Who's who
    2. most of the devices now is different. I didn't REMOVE THE GRAPHICS CARD, SO WHAT this evolution?
    And my performance lowers too.
    1 display adapter listed changed to Standard VGA Graphics Adapter Nvidia GTS 450 (graphics card)? Who's who

    You must install the drivers for the hardware.

    Download drivers

    Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model if they have drivers for your version of Windows. Download the driver and then follow the instructions to install.

  • Activation of Windows Vista after changing motherboard and processor

    I bought a HP Pavilion Slimline PC (HP S3500z) with AMD Athlon Dual core, online from HP in the United States during the year 2008, which is preloaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. I did the recovery also disks at this time.

    In May 2009, I came to the India and the PC was fine. This year, in October 2010, the PC has suddenly stopped booting and after discussing the nature of the problem with the HP online support, it was concluded that the motherboard has gone wrong.

    I tried to locate to the motherboard, but it is not available and there are size constraints associated with the motherboard that can be mounted in the slimline PC... FINALLLY I could not well the same motherboard.

    Now, I have no option but replace the motherboard and the processor from Intel to make...
    But after the replacement of these two main components: the Vista downloaded on my PC will not recognize them and would require again activation...

    I have not yet changed components and require the guidance on how to make this change followed in reactivation...

    Please give information about the problem as early may so I'd go head and do what is necessary...

    Thank you and best regards

    When you change the motherboard, you lose all rights to the OEM installed Vista OS.  It is called "tattoo" by HP and is a license agreement with Microsoft. Your only solution is to buy a version of the OS and sure, format the drive to lose all data. The only other alternative would have been to contact HP and ask questions on a refurbished motherboard, or a Board that is in the same group family who would accept the OEM license.

  • Vista has changed my appearance settings and deleted the options to change their return!

    This morning I turned on my laptop which runs Windows Vista Edition Home Premium version. She changed my appearance of the window of a very delightful purple color, return to the icy blue standard.

    When I go to the appearance options it just gives me the old options and not the color or transparency ones, have read also on the setting in the setting of aerodynamic profile, but it also disappeared!

    Along the coast this question, he also started malfunction whenever I click to get a glimpse of my saved images. The preview page opens but does not load correctly. as an art student, is somewhat a problem :/

    help please!

    Why not do a system restore. Take yesterday or the day before, as your restore point.
    How will that help.

    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
    To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.
