  2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
  3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

• I can't customize my window color and appearance to change the transparency and color of the window.

  Tuesday night I had to re-charge/reinstall Windows Vista because I had some problems with the worms and Trojans. After that I have re-installed Windows, I was able to customize my resolution and my window color and appearance. Once I installed all the 106 updates of Windows, I was finally able to change my resolution but I still not able to change my window color and appearance. Before I reloaded Windows I could change the transparency of the windows and taskbar and the tone of the colors, etc., but now all I can choose themes default and such of older versions of Windows. I was told that after I downloaded and installed all the updates, I'd be able to do, but I'm still not able to do. Is there a reason why and is there a any solution for this? Drivers? Material? Thank you. :) I hope this has been detailed enough.

  Hi Nicole,.

  In the services dialog box, double-click the themes service. On the Recovery tab, set the first and second failure of the drop-down lists "restart the service". If she is still unable to start/restart, open the event viewer for Windows Logs\System and locate the failure event. Post back with the information found here.

• How can I change the color of the Windows 7 Basic theme?

  After a year of the default theme for Win7 (which I liked), for a nice change, I passed to the Windows 7 basic theme. It is somewhat a return to the 95/98 default theme, and the taskbar are a clear/grey blue. Is there a way I can darken the color a little the taskbar, but keeping all the rest on this theme (form and UI icons, etc.)?

  In the section Customize, Windows had a link to the MS site for additional themes, but none of them had what I wanted.

  "Is there a specific option that determines the color of the taskbar?

  It's been so long I forgot what I did, but I found it.  You must use the option 3D objects.
  However, this also changes the bar tools, scrollbar, tabs and buttons (maybe more)
  so may not suit your needs because it will darken all of these features.

  This has led me to research for more information which has me thinking that I can finally

  I immediately chose the XP theme again, but the taskbar are now the boxy style, monotone of the classic theme and I can't do anything to change the color.

  Does anyone know if or how you can recover the XP style and color taskbar?   Thank you.

  Click Start | Run and then type services.msc in the Run dialog box.

  Now the services Control Panel opens.
  Scroll down the page until you see themes. The State must be running and not stopped.
  If to stop, then set to Started. You should now be able to use themes on your computer.

• Windows 7 - cannot change the colors of the Aero theme

  original title: window color problem Windows 7

  In windows 7 Home Premium. Whenever I select an Aero theme 'customization' and click the color 'window' to change it, it will bring up the customizer of basic theme rather than the Aero theme colors and transparency. I am able to change the background image and sounds but not the color of the window. I launched the Aero Troubleshooter and he says it has fixed the problem. However, there is always.  I've had this computer for a while, and it is only since my last little update that happened. How can I fix it?

• How to change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in Windows 7?

  Change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in win 7?

  How to change the brightness, contrast and color in the windows photo viewer 7 (I used the fix option in xp and vista)
  Thanks for any help.

  Hi epse30,

  In Windows Vista Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by the Windows Photo Gallery and there was an option to set the brightness, contrast, etc by using the Fix as you said.

  Unfortunately, this option is not available with the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7.

  However, Windows Live Photo Gallery has a number of easy to use tools for things like red eye fixing or clearing exposure and low light situations. Windows Live Photo Gallery gives you more creative control over your photos. You can download Windows Live Photo Gallery for free from the link below;

  The above article is for Windows Vista, but it remains valid for Windows 7 as well.
