Vista Home premium - change in appearance

Similar Questions

• Taskbar Windows Vista Home Premium, changed to the classic color scheme after update.

  For some reason any my menu of the taskbar and start suddenly changed to the classic system of windows.

  I am running Windows Home Premium and have attempted to reverse to the standard vista scheme through customization > window color and appearance, but has only Windows Classic as an option.

  I also right click on the bar of tasks and disappeared on properties in this way, it shows the taskbar as the standard version of Vista but the taskbar is still in basic.

  I used the diagnosis of DirectX tool tests to see if an error has caused this, but it does not revisit what whatsoever, and my laptop recognizes that it runs Windows Home Premium.

  Also tried to restart, but nothing changes...

  The only thing that I think may be linked to this is after a recent update of the last time that I closed my laptop, but I don't see what update it was.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Here is a link to the screenshot of my problem!

  I found that if you go to the computer, right click on it, go on manage, then go to Services on the left column, scroll down to find topics, left-click and then in the upper left of this part of the screen there is a link to restart the Service, click , click on it, it will restart the service for the themes. Once she had him restart the service for the themes, right click on your desktop, go into customize and if you change your theme, your Vista Basic theme should be back. I hope this helps someone.

• change language in vista Home premium

  HI I have recentley I have a toshiba equium laptop with vista home premium on it, however, it is in Chinese, the bios is English and there is something funny like "enter" in English, but nothing else, I know where the list of languages is in Control Panel etc, but all languages in the drop down menus are in Chinese (kanji I think) and I can't read it... What is English United Kingdom in kanji? someone told any suggestions short of a complete re - load, oh, and I don't have a vista disc as I have always used xp.

  If it's a version of Chinese language of Vista, change the display language to English will change SOME of the Chinese-to-English User Interface, but it is not an English version of Vista. (It is available only in Vista Ultimate.)

  See also the section "when you change the display language...". "at the bottom of this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-the-display-language

• Requested help recovering from the change that I did for the 'Public' of Vista Home Premium file permissions for everyone

  I made a blunder when changing the permissions of public folders for everyone.  I am now connected to Vista Home Premium on my home PC as an Admin will be complete permissiongs.  When I right click on the folder Public, pooling and property options are both now gone.  How to restore the availability of these options?  Also, I can access to is no longer the files that I previously copied into the Public folder.  How can I restore my access to these files?

  Have you started with elevated privileges command prompt? Just running in the administrator account is not enough. Looks like you don't have because it starts in your user directory. If you were high would begin in the Windows\System32 directory.

  See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Command-Prompt-frequently-asked-questions

  Orders, you should get something like this:

  Takeown /f /a C:\Users\Public
  ICACLS C:\Users\Public/Grant "BUILTIN\Users: (F)".
  ICACLS C:\Users\Public/Grant "Administrators: (F)".
  Takeown /f C:\Users\Public\*/a
  ICACLS C:\Users\Public\*.*/Grant "BUILTIN\Users: (F)".
  ICACLS C:\Users\Public\*.*/Grant "Administrators: (F)".

  I can't guarantee that this will fix your system. You must give permissions for the system and other users accounts.  If you have access to another system, I would compare the settings there. These programs will help you determine the permissions associated with a system
