Try to reactivate the taskbar and window transparency
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. Here are some screenshots of Windows 7 settings Customize my not-properly-working:

Someone knows how to fix this problem, so I can choose my taskbar, the color and opacity settings?
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.

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?

Do you mean "activate"? Registration is optional; Activation is not. You don't have not given us enough information to targeted assistance. What type of XP installation disc are you using? What product key you installed with (please do not post!)? What happened when you talked to the man during telephone activation?

How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar
I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.
Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?
Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...

Whenever I try to open Avira Antivrus and Windows Defender, I get this message: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "I am the administrator and I have not set restrictions. It worked, but started recently and I can't find answers. All solutions?
Hi I_GHall
It seems that you receive the message you want to software conflicts. I suggest you try to disable either the Avira antivirus and windows defender and then check if the problem resolves.
If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

Hi everyone, auggy,
I really hope you can help me with a problem I have on a single workstation at my office. It is an accumulation of 32-bit Windows 7 running MS Office 2010 Standard. It differs from other generations in our office because it is used by the head of the team of our accounts, and so it has a number of custom pieces of software that she only needs access (payroll software, etc.).
All the basic features of the computers seem to be well, except the two following, and I would really like to help get to the bottom of it.

I can start windows Explorer, and it will happen again--it's a repetitive event.
(2) Internet Explorer AppHangB1 when you try to attach files to download
I think that these two errors may actually be related, like IE (and Chrome as well by the way, this be why I think that the two issues are related) works fine, until I just any type of site where I need to download a file. This happened in the light, as our Chief of accounts needs to download a flat file in a room online banking software. What's going to happen (and, again, this can be repeated as needed) is: -.
(a) you need to click on which will generally be a "Browse" button
(b) a traditional dialog box opens, but instead which allows you to navigate to the location and select the folder you want, he immediately greys out as if the process explore is falling.
(c) shortly after, the following error is returned: -.

Hi auggy, Andy,.
Well... in a way, I am very disappointed, but we will respond to it.
Andy, I checked and iCloud, Control Panel has not been installed on its terminal, but thank you very much for suggesting it :)
auggi, when I got back on my colleague's PC, I thought I would test to see if the feature didn't always before considering saving data dumps etc, and it worked fine!
I left it overnight with instructions for the lady who uses the PC to test this morning and see if it's all workers, and it is still, it seems that the fix does not immediately solve the problem of browser, but there later - maybe after a second reboot or something... very strange!
In all case, this matter can now be considered closed, so all that remains for me to say thank you very much for your help, you are amazing :)
All the best, very, very,.

I'm LR4 running on a pc. Control-Q does not close the program. (Sometimes it changes the selected color to b & w image.) I was closing the window by right-clicking on the LR icon in the taskbar and selecting "close window." Is this really close the program? (It also changes an image n & b).

CTRL-Q should work unless there is a Windows keyboard command that replaces it.

With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?
After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.
