• Windows Vista is not look right after the virus scan (looks like old fashioned)

  I ran a test and test of computer optimization after what my Windows Vista is very old looking shaped with square blocks and the screen seems also very dark. Can I make the screen brighter, but need to do this each time I start up. But my main thing is to get Windows Vista normal looking again. I tried updates, but not worked.

  Can someone give me some advice please?

  Hello

  I'm curious to know what it was: 'computer optimisation test '.

  Normally, you lose your Vista theme after the graphics drivers are not updated.

  That's why I was wondering what you were doing.

  Try this:

  Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

  "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

• Windows Vista looks like classic Windows

  I changed the design of my laptop, so it would be better for a game, but when I started this morning, it looked like classic Windows. There is no available in themes and even vista theme by checking the box for best visual appearance, nothing has changed. Any help?

  Use the Windows key + R, and then enter the following: services.msc

  One of your services will appear as "Theme". Make sure that it is set to run automatically, and then restart the PC.

  After a reboot, make sure the theme recurs.

• How the new Firefox look like the old Firefox?

  I was looking at the new version of Firefox and really don't like how it looks. If I update to it is there a way to make Firefox like the old? 3.6.24 is the version that I use now, and I like really what it looks like.

  You see the button refresh (Reload) as an icon of circle on the site of the right hand of the address next to the star of bookmark bar and the location bar drop historical marker.

  Firefox 4 and later versions use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is placed at the right end of the address bar.
  
  During the process of loading page it shows as a stop button and once the charging button is replaced by a reload button.
  
  If you type in the address bar this button would then become a button go.
  
  Click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab in a new tab.

  To move the buttons Stop and recharge in the position to the left of the address bar, you can use the following steps:

  • Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize.
  • If the menu bar is hidden on Windows or Linux use "Firefox > Options > toolbars."
  • Drag the buttons Reload and stop at their previous position to the left of the address bar.
  • Set the "Reload - Stop" order for a combined "Stop/Reload" button.
  • Set the order of 'Stop - Reload' or separate them otherwise (space or separator) for two separate buttons.

• Linux 32-bit. Abobe plug-in already installed. Always get looks like to your using an older version of Firefox. All talk of 64, I'm Linux 32. Need 2 plug-ins?

  For a long time keep saying looks like to your using an older version of Firefox. Several times I tried to install Adobe Flash plug-in, both with Firefox and the Adobe site. I'm on Linux 32-bit, 64 no, details, that I find are for 64 bit.
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/759565
  I think that the problem might be here, but I do not see the solution for 32 bit. Looks like only maybe 2 plug-ins? Anyway I need help.
  It is a problem with all the extra steps with the question you can imagine. I tried from scratch with Firefox, not working, more like 52 card pick up... if you know this game.
  I want a solution if you have a. Thank you.

  I had the problem solved. Thank you for your help. I had to get help from an engineer, I know. It's fast enough, but it looked like he deleted the old and installed the new and it seemed that perhaps the launch could have the issue? Not exactly, it's almost as if the launch was set for the old version... but don't want to send someone on the cause of the bad way, I don't know, but he later installed to firefox 38.1 or another... the 29. SOLVED. Thank you for taking the time to help. It was frustrating problem.

• Trying to find oldbar makes the location (URL) bar look like Firefox 2

  Firefox updated my version and I hate it and he took my old URL toolbar add-on. When I do the drop-down arrow it only shows me the previous pages, I have visited. I don't want to have to type in my pages frequently visited regularly throughout the day. How can I stop Firefox update my version when I'm happy with the one I have and how can we recover the old tool bar.

  You can stop firefox update by going to Menu > Preferences > advanced > update and clicking on the circle of the verification of updates but let me choose whether to install them. See how the new firefox looks like the old firefox to learn how to get your old url bar in the rear.

  Have a great day!

• How to make Firefox look like Chrome?

  Is there anyway to make Firefox 29 back to the old layout?

  I chose to use Firefox because I loved the presentation of the user interface, and it doesn't look like Chrome. In this new update I may as well pass because they look almost identical. It's really disturbing to me, I like Firefox and this new Interface looks really bad for me.

  Can't we just updates that improve the code and the quality of life issues without being constrained by using a browser that is a clone of Chrome 1:1?

  -Smoot

  I went to the Pale Moon browser today. Because Firefox has been open source and there are clones available. Pale Moon is literally everything that Firefox has been (down to each individual option) before Mozilla decided to break their own product and replace it with Google Chrome 29.

  Look the same, works the same, will not be updated and break all the time. Congratulations to all.
