  At some recent point, I lost the background color of the active window within Windows uses 'household.  I still not my background color assigned in any application I run (Word, Mail, etc.), but using Windows Explorer to navigate through my hard drive, the active window is now always the default stark white Windows.  How this change and can it be forced to adhere to the assigned active window background color?

• Windows Vista problem... Help!

  I recently had an automatic update install and reboot (sort of), but when the computer went to restart the operating system starts, so I have no idea of what is happening with my computer. So can someone please help me with my problem

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your falls into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  There are different methods to reinstall Vista, if you think it is necessary to do so.

  This can help you:

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  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, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought 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.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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.

• Activating Windows Vista 0xC004E003 error.

  Original title: Activation of Windows Vista

  When I try to activate my Windows Vista and put my PC it gives an error number: 0xc004e003.
  Can anyone help?
  Sorry for the bad English...

  If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Vista problems wireless on laptop

  First of all thanks in advance to anyone who can help me solve this problem. It really starts to drive me crazy. I have a laptop HP under Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, I built in adapter wireless and until a year ago it was working fine. I used a public WiFi access point, and I honestly think it crashed my adapter because it has never worked since. At the time I didn't it was something important.
  I can be right next to a wireless router (at home) and a laptop shows excellent signal and my HP link see the strength... until I hit... Then he throws a "Windows cannot connect to"
  I click on diagnose the problem and told me "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.
  I am looking for the extra wireless and it shows the same thing but this time one that I want to connect to is now the low signal strength... I tried a signal booster and I have tweeked every setting I can think. I'm lost. Here is a partial of my ipconfig and my all in the event log.

  Hi DJGabby,

  • What is the only computer that is connected to the wireless network?

  Try to power cycle the router and the computer and check if it helps.

  On the PC:

  1. Save your work and restart the machine.

  On the router or modem (if wireless printing):

  1. Unplug the router and the modem.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Plug in the modem and wait for it to come to the ready state.
  4. Plug in the router.

  After you put cycle check the connection between the router and the computer wireless.

  NOTE: You should do this for each network connection, even if they are disabled.
   
  Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:
  Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233
  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756.  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
   
  Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers
   
  To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.
  2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  4 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {GUID}
  5. in this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.
  6. on the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.
  7. in the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.
  8. right click on DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.
  9. in the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.
  10. close the registry editor.
   
  By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.
  You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the wireless card.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Windows vista problems install keyboard and mouse

  I try to install windows vista ultimate on a new amd system I've built recently. The windows vista screen Boot starts well, but I can't go further with the installation because the keyboard and the mouse do not work.

  To solve the problem, I booted up with a Linux distribution and I can use the keyboard and mouse and everything works fine. Initially, I bought vista using boot camp on my Mac and the keyboard and mouse work well with vista on this configuration.
  I want to upgrade to windows 8 thereafter, but I might need to buy the whole program, rather than the update if I can't do vista works. I don't want to spend money if I can't because I'm broke. Any suggestions?

  Parameters of the BIOS of some computers have a setting "Enable USB Legacy" to allow the keyboard to work without Windows running.

  If you have PS/2 ports buy an adapter or a PS/2 keyboard. Most USB keyboards can be connected to a PS/2 port using a USB to PS/2 adapter.

  Also, tried "last good configuration" but nothing is.

  Try to repair windows with the repair disk. but no joy once again, by looking at the details of the diagnosis and repair, it shows repair stalled when the event log diagnostic testing.  It will not accomplish this test, even after leaving during the night.

  Also tried to go back to a restore point, but because it is new, it doesn't show any restore points that were to restore the system back.

  No backup available or go to restore.

  Memory Diagnostic test has been successful.

  Ran sfc/scannow to command prompt, is back with "start scanning system.  This process will take time. "A few seconds later says"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation. »

• Windows VISTA problems with ".exe" files

  I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, SP2 on a HP Pavilion desktop computer. Recently developed a problem when you try to run any file with an ".exe" extension results in a window asking to "choose the application I want to use to open the file" or "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. " Any ideas?

  Hello
  This problem occurs when your .exe file associations are broken. This is usually caused by a virus/malware that changes the default file associations in Windows. Follow these instructions to resolve this problem:
  Download exeHelper from one of these two links: link 1, link 2 double click on exeHelper to run the fix. A black window should appear. Once the patch is finished, press any key to close.
  Then try following the steps in this virus/malware removal guide: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide

  It contains instructions which will remove most malware infections. If you have any questions, just ask me. I hope this helps you.

• Installation/space Windows Vista problems

  Recently the Windows Vista Setup program does not allow the installation of the different software components.  Sometimes I have a vague (as impossible to install) error code, sometimes the installation starts from inside IE and then just comes back to IE. But no installation occurs.

  I am slot as Vista Business 64-bit Service Pack 2. (5 gig Ram)

  I have between 50 to 500 free MB on the disk. (I have a drive c to 35 gigabytes.  But, windows uses 31 G (winsxs uses 20 G).)  Supposedly, it's a problem of Microsoft to know during the years that they have no desire to fix.  I regularly try to clean the space, but it's like trying to hold back the Mississippi...

  Uninstall seems to work.

  I ran various utiilties of Microsoft to try to resolve the problem. (I think this is worse!)

  I ran sfc/scannow and it has detected/fixed no problem.

  When I was able to capture more storage space (by moving my virtual memory on another drive) briefly the problem has not disappeared.  The Publisher of the software after several hours of searching in various newspapers told me it was a problem of Microsoft Installer.

  I don't want to re - install the OS that I don't have a number of my installation for different software products discs (they are all legal).

  I'm not so sure that Windows installs my updates properly at this stage either.

  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm drowning in time to support.

  What is E? The dual computer boot or pagefile on E refers to the operating system in C?

  I did not used Easeus Partition Manager, Partition Magic and Acronis who buy software using, but the principles will be similar. What you need to do is to reduce the size of D, so that there is a free space between C and D, and then increase the size of C in this space. You can then increase the size of D in the original unallocated space of 5.86 GB in D.

  I suggest that you study the knowledge base, and there is a line on manual. Print the relevant parts. The FAQ in the first link and follow two particularly relevant links:

  http://www.partition-tool.com/EASEUS-partition-Manager/FAQ.htm
