Taskbar and windows have changed Vista classic.

For some reason when my computer Vista automatically updated, the taskbar, and windows from the Vista Classic theme. I went to themes to restore it, but when I chose the Vista theme, it changed my desktop wallpaper for the original Vista wallpaper and my taskbar remained in the standard view. I also went in for windows color scheme options, but when I clicked on the Vista system, the preview was a black screen and when I clicked on apply it remained in the classic theme. I tried to go to Services and restart of the themes, but has nothing. Anyway I can fix this?

    Hello, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a new laptop Asus UL50A series. This morning I received a message from Microsoft Update 'important' and so I updated my laptop, rebooted and noticed that the borders of my taskbar and window were more transparent. Before the update, everything worked fine, but now it does not work. Everything so far, works great except the issue of transparency. I would like to know how to fix this problem without having to do a system restore, since I already have a lot of important files on my new laptop.

    Was one of these updates for a video driver?  If that were the case, you might want to go back to the previous driver in Device Manager.

    On the same note, ensuring that you have the latest video driver is also important if it wasn't one of the updates.

    Then, you should try to restart the DWM and ensuring that it is auto-start.

    In the search box, type "services".

    When the window appears, select services and check for the Desktop Windows Manager.  Try to restart it.  Then right click on the entry and make sure that it is auto-start.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Vista - fonts and display have changed since Windows Update

    I had the same problem yesterday and had to back up and restore to an earlier period. This morning the same automatic update came and it's the same thing.  It affects my desktop screen, my icons, and all programs. I have a Dell with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    Fitz,

    Who updates?

    the first step is to remember the famous words of wisdom: if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    the second step is to NEVER make an upgrade with anything that does not come from the brush head or a trusted source

    as a general rule, it is best to install only the updates of the security. and you should always stay away from hardware (optional) on the microsoft site drivers! chances are the drivers that you are fine just the way they are. If you did not need to update, you should go to the manufacturer Web site the real to do.

  • Firefox seems too high, she has no header and covers my taskbar and I have to restart the computer to get away. That's happened? I win 10.

    Hello

    I have a Dell inspiron with a 32 "screen. Operating system Windows 10.

    Watch a video on facebook using the full screen. It froze and has a strong low buzzing sound. I had to reboot, could NOT 'leave' back to the facebook page to leave that video. After turning the power back on, I opened firefox to go to facebook and discovered that I had zoomed in on firefox somehow and I can't see my task bar background nor and the header bar, or on part of firefox. IT DOESN'T TO ME ANYWHERE ELSE ON MY COMPUTER. I can use the browser Microsoft Edge and facebook is normal, works very well. Can use my Mozilla Thunderbird and it is fine. But every time I open Firefox, it is just too big for my screen as described above. Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and was no help at all. Always do the same thing now, so I uninstalled again. I love firefox and never use another browser.

    Does he have already seen this before?

    Never understood what that was this corrupted file that Fred Mcd spoke, but I followed your link, Fred. And stumbling around in the help of mozilla, I found the part on updating firefox and who did it. He actually sent me a "assistant" who did the job when I clicked on "Finish".

    If Firefox is working again and my thanks to Cor - el and FredMcD

    The trouble hit when I was a video on facebook using the full screen. It froze and gave a continuous hum and I had to reboot. Trouble appeared then on Firefox. Weird how? But as I say, it's OK now.

    Once again thanks to you two.
