The option of Vista has disappeared from my appearance settings

My computer did an automatic update of windows last night. After that, it seems that he took my vista option in the appearance settings. I can only select windows standard. I miss my beautiful windows!

Start the themes service. To do this, follow these steps:

Click Start and run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

In the list of installed services, click themes, and then click Properties.

In the startup type list, click Automatic, click on apply, click Start, and then click OK.

Then, to enable Aero, follow these steps:

Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and then click Customize.

In the Customize dialog box, click window color and appearance.

In the color model list, click Windows Aero, and then click OK.

  • The start section of the general tab in the Options dialog box has disappeared, what gives?

    My question says it all. It USED to be there (or if not, I could not put my pages in the past), but now it isn't, and I haven't changed all the settings of Firefox.

    Thanks for the quick response. Oddly enough, this problem "disappeared" as suddenly as it appeared. Next time that I started Firefox (which was just a few minutes after I reported this), the general tab had the available selection area to set the home pages. Occurrences weird like that make me nervous, however, that things don't "just" without reason.

  • Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray

    Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
    Seems silly, but I can't find it!

    Hello

    Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
    There should be a tab named Notification area.

    In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
    You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
    In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

    In some cases, these options may be grayed out
    In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

    and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.

  • T500: ATI GPU has disappeared from the Device Manager!

    Hello! I've recently updated my T500 and realized that my ATI GPU has disappeared from my list of display adapter in Device Manager and my system tray. Instead the intel GMA appears. I downloaded the switchable graphics driver on the Lenovo site and ran the ATI configuration all found in C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO, but he did nothing to solve this problem. I am running Windows Vista x 64. I hope someone here can help me with this problem.

    Thank you!

    Moderator Note: type added to the title.

    It is CORRECTED! After much head shining all day I finally found my own solution to my problem. Installed an ATI driver updated the using the Mobility Modder with permission from people to kind to Driver Heaven! Reinstalled the switchable graphics driver of Lenovo, now my machine seems to work better now before the problem occurred. In fact, click on the switchable graphics option that wasn't available on my right (and I had not noticed either) is now available and ready! A whole day trying to figure this out finally paid off! My problem is solved by me!
