My windows Vista missing theme.

I have windows vista and just all the time when I went to my laptop, the theme looks like a style classic windows xp. (square corners and the gray look) I went to my section Customize and tried to change the "theme" back to vista, thinking that I accepted a windows pop that has changed, BUT the option to upgrade to "vista look" is not there only classic windows.
Help, please
I have the vista home edition
Thank you

Restart the service of themes. Click Start, type services and press . Click on continue in the UAC prompt. Locate "Thèmes" in the list and click on it. Click the restart option in the left column. It should find your Vista theme.

    If you know the manufacturer of the game, you can try their site to see if they have a Vista patch for the game.  Some games have the protection against copying that is not compatible with Vista and you need a patch from the game manufacturer.  It is because the protection against copying of the game has been written especially for XP and will not function on Vista.  They are the only ones who can provide you with a work around if the compatibility options do not work for you.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

    I'm looking for customizable configurations, and I see that you offer with 8 GB of RAM, but it takes a 64-bit system to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicitly says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I certainly don't need. Is it possible to specify a command with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?

    Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the addition of the company. Wikipedia:

    «Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget conscious users not requiring advanced do not support supports for domestic use.» ... Home Basic supports one processor physical, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Edition Tablet PC, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of the basic home edition with the exception of Parental control and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, image system and recovery, offline files, backup a server to single user Remote Desktop , capabilities of collaboration ad hoc P2P cliché support that allows you to access previous versions of files, Tablet PCsupport and other features of business-oriented management. Vista Business edition supports up to two physical processors. 64-bit Enterprise supports 128 GB of RAM. »

    I am interested in a configuration with a high power, dual-core processor and 8 GB of RAM with the cache of 2 GB drive in addition to that, among other things, large volume, an intense audio processing. None of the additional costs related to the company are things that I need, but I need a 64 bit system to exploit the 8 GB of RAM. Frankly, I really don't want to pay $79 just for the support of RAM, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and while the basic edition is apparently not a Windows 7 free upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.

    My questions:

    • If I set up a machine with > 3 GB installed memory, will there by default be configured with the 64 bit version of the edition of Windows, I chose?
    • If so, is there a cost difference? There is no difference in cost between the registered versions 32 - and 64-bit Enterprise edition.
    • If not, is it possible to make this simple change to my order? Levono is even included in Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?

    Ehh. The other side to this is that, when you try to maximize the efficiency of an audio production on the fly system, a huge amount of overhead of operating system is not desirable.

    If you after a clutter of OS (which is what you seem to be which means by 'efficiency'), you will need to do significant customization of the load of the installation of any  version of Windows, so it won't be fine well what version start you with.

    I have still two printers in albums, a 670C and a 560C Deskjet Deskjet, and I fear that this movement from XP to Windows Vista miss the drivers concerned. No idea how to use with Vista? Their drivers are not provided by the installation of Vista program. Thank you for helping. Paolo

  • How can I recover missing Windows Vista themes?

    My operating system is vista Home premium, but I realized it lacked the themes except the classic windows theme. How can I get these themes in return?

    There is no separate download for the themes that come with Vista.  If they are missing, the only way to recover is to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    There are many other themes Vista free available online that you can download and use instead if you don't want to do the repaiir/upgrade or if you do not have access to a facility genuine Windows Vista disc and therefore cannot make the repair/upgrade.  Perhaps alternatives theee will be sufficient.  Here's a search for free Vista themes you can check and see if they will satisfy you: http://www.bing.com/search?q=Free%20Vista%20themes&mkt=en-us&FORM=TOOLBR&DI=6244&CE=14.0&CM=SearchWeb.

  • Subfolders are missing in my Windows Vista mail

    All of a sudden all my especially for the Inbox subfolders have disappeared, I'm desperate to get back. I used Windows Mail for 2 years with no problems until I turned it on a few days ago.

    The Inbox always works for the Inbox and Outbox, as well, but it does NOT show the pointer indicating the sub folders.

    I got CCleaner, check and repair the registry

    I have DL WMUtil and clicked on 'Repair', with no result.
    Support MS I took the Adviser and Windows Live Mail installed.

     
    All windows updates are installed, including SP1 & SP2

    I'm sure each subfolder has it's own DBX and I have what looks like the long list to save them in my F:\Downloads\Email . I see that the Inbox itself is 1.33 GB, which can be too big?


    All windows updates are installed including SP1 & SP2.
     
    (When introduced in several years, as far as possible C:\ has been kept for the MS OS and one very little other critics of the programs so that the Image has been observed smaller as much as possible for reasons of reconstruction and restoration.) I have years of work organized and saved and do not want a multi-hour/day sessions to rebuild if the OS crashes.   Most of the other programs have been put in E:\;        and F:\ was maintained for data)
     
    Thus, you will notice that all *.dbx files are in f, not C:\ folders.dbx was changed to folders.old, but the folders.dbx is not regenerated when the mail is opened again.
     
    NOW, I go check Mail/Local C:\Users\Carl/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows files .  There is No folder.dbx, .old, .bak, etc..   But the records that I'm missing may not be in the local folders.  Each of the files *.eml files/messages and I can click on and open one of them.
     
    So the sub folders (the typical yellow icon) appear to be in C:\
    But the *.dbx files (icon looks like a blank white page) are in F:\
    So how do them together and recognized again?
     
    Thank you

    Hi CarlP33,

    C:\Users\Carl/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows Mail/Local Folders is where Windows Mail stores data by default on a Vista machine. And DBX is not the format in which windows mail stores the data. He stores them in a format called. EML you find that is correct.

    . DBX is dead... This is the format in which Outlook Express uses to store its data. If you find these files in F:\ they could be a backup or that you copied.

    See below on how to import the DBX (Outlook Express data) in Windows Mail.

  • Boot MGR missing, Windows Vista,

    Hey! so I have a Lenovo that runs on windows vista, and it had this nasty virus that I could only remove by resetting my computer back to factory settings (I saved most of my personal files) and if that wasn't bad enough, when I tried to restart my computer it says "Boot MGR is missing, press Ctrl alt delete to restart ' does NOT incidentally , so long story short, to fix it, I need to use the windows vista disc to repair the file, but I don't have the disc, but I have the key phrase that sits on the bottom of my computer when I bought it, so any suggestions regarding How can I come on a windows vista disc or download windows vista so I can burn it to a disc? preference for free because I already OWN Windows Vista?

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer/laptop there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  • My product key of Windows Vista parts are missing.

    Missing product key-frame = my windows vista family premium product-part are missing and I can't get the rest * removed *.

    Hello

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer on the ways to solve this problem.

    If you want to reinstall Vista.

    1. ask thrm if you have a recovery Partition on the hard drive to take it back to the factory settings (new condition)

    You have to press F10, F11, etc. depending on the manufacturer; ask them to know the exact details.

    2. ask to send you recovery discs to do the same.

    They normally charge a small cost for this service.

    Using one of the above methods normally does not require a product key for input on your part, because these recovery methods use product key factory of the manufacturer of Installation, which is used on several machines to activate with your motherboard.
