upgrade from Vista to Win7: no color for speaker Icon or WIFI icon on the system tray

After the upgrade to Win7, both the WIFI icon and the "speaker" icon are white without color.  Just annoying for the speaker, but I cannot see the strength of the signal for the wifi icon.

Hello
This does not solve the problem.  The advice given doesn't turn, and turn off the system icons.  The issue is not that the icons are invisible.  The problem is that the icons are there, but they have no color, as I expect.

Hello

It is design in Windows 7. There is no way to change this in the user interface.

If you want to provide feedback about this, you can use the following link.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7

    You can remove the program from the taskbar and check if that helps. To remove a program pinned to the taskbar, open the jump list for the program, and then click remove this program from the taskbar.

  • Problems upgrading from vista to win7

    I have a Toshiba satellite p205 and I have the disc of windows 7, but when I go through the process, it does not work, so I downloaded win7 Upgrade Advisor and he says: I have all kinds of compatibility problems with drivers toshiba n such, he also says that I don't have the vista service pack (in which I don't have) so I kept installing updates from windows but the option to install SP1 never showed up. So I downloaded manually 440 mb SP1 on MS website, but it will fail to install due to an error. Can anyone help?

    NightFury,
    Try the following and let us know the result.

    Run the disk error checking
    Then run the System File Checker
    Will download and run the System Update tool
    Make sure to note one of these tools can display error messages.

    Will they all work fine and correct problems, and then run Windows Update.  After installing other updates, then try the manual installation for SP1.  It would also be useful to know what error you get when SP1 installs.

  • Upgrade from Vista to Win7 (64 bit Home Premium) (64-bit Home Premium) hung up to 96%

    I bought a subscription Office 365 this weekend, he returned and discovered that it won't work on my machine which is / was running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I had a disc OEM Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) I bought a few months ago, when I had to completely rebuild my machine, but has not used, because by some miracle, he started on my Vista drive.  I ran the Upgrade Advisor, dealt with the non-compliant issues, updated everything, disabled my antivirus software and did a upgrade install.  It stuck at 18% for hours during the 3rd stage of the installation, and then as I was on system crash, he started to answer and he got 96%, where it is been blocked for more than 16 hours.  If I try to cancel the installation, it is said that it will / could make my system unusable.  I saw there is a problem with these being stuck at 62%, but if I can't stop installation without turning my brick system, how to fix this?

    Turn off the computer

    Disconnect non-essential connections and start the machine again and see if it finishes the installation program.

    If this does not work, try the following:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Re-create disc set of system recovery after OS upgrade from Vista to Win7

I used my original restore disks game for the PC to Windows Vista and then upgraded to upgrade to Win7. I want to re - create the defined under Win7 recovery disc, in the case where I never restore the OS again, to avoid restoring Vista and upgrade to Win7 process. Unfortunately, Recovery Manager reports that a recovery set have been achieved and can be done again.

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  • 'Upgrade' from Vista to Windows 7 without a clean install

    Is it possible to upgrade from Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I searched through the forums and most of the responses seem to confuse "upgrade" with "clean install". I bought the Windows 7 upgrade in order to keep all of my existing programs and settings in place not re - install everything from the beginning.

    Is it possible to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7? If this isn't the case, then I don't see how Microsoft can claim to offer a "upgrade path". I don't think a "clean install" is the generally accepted definition of an upgrade.

    It is NOT possible!

  • How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

    How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

    Hello

    The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

    The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

    Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

    Here's how:

    1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

    2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

    3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

    If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

  • Update icon is missing from the system tray

    Salvation Windows XP experts,

    My "Automatic Updates" is set on "download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", but several times I don't get the icon in the system tray, and it is until I want to shud down my laptop when I get the message "click on disable to install important updates and turn off your computer. , and if I work on the batteries, I don't even get this message. Sometimes I change my setting "Notify Me but don't automatically download or install" hoping that icon will appear, but it's not.

    Recently, I have been informed of the 2 updates to download and agreed, but they got downloaded the icon has disappeared... and when I lock my PC, I got this message because I have new updates have been installed, I clicked on the button "turn off". I was surprised when I saw him on the screen saying 1 of 1 updates is being intalled! I pressed the power button until it exploded and then restarted, it, went into the folder Windows to know he was installing the single update, is not one of the 2 updates that I accepted on! What a f * ing system?

    What can I do to see what updates will be installed on my PC?

    Thank you

    z

    Hello

    If I understand well, you have a little problem with the 'automatic update' - in particular with the notification in the system tray icon. The icon does not appear in the system status bar when updates are ready for instalation - does?

    There is a similar but opposite problem - system "Auto update" displays the icon in the system tray – as they may be new updates installed, but the updated window does not update after clicking on the icon in the system tray:

    http://www.eggheadcafe.com/Microsoft/Windows-Update/29682120/Automatic-Update-icon-stay-on-system-tray.aspx

    So, this has been resolved by removing the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" directory "C:\WINDOWS" folder

    (before deletion was stopped the service "Windows update").

    What you can try:

    (1) this Fix IT (full reset Windows Update components - including registration of libraries, to rename files ...)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058/en

    2) install the latest version of the Windows Update Agent (for good communication with the WWW of Windows update server)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en

    3) only recommend - install the latest IE (IE8) (Select language)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=43

    (4) this Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic (I hope that will be the pages of the SITE in English)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

    I confess that I have not read previous answers (PA bear MS MVP) in detail, it is possible that you've already tried this. However, I tried this, if I had similar problems.
