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

"Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/
Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;
Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. 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
See you soon.

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