Why my windows Vista processer became the classic windows processor?

My computer is 64-bit of Windows Vista. When using my computer, it changed randomly one day of vista taskbar and the classic model for the old. I tried to change the settings of vista, but even in doing so, it is classic. An example of what is happened is that I tried to play a computer game (Warcraft III), and I played on this computer before it changed. in any case, I'd just reinstalled today and under where it says installation it says "the game is not compatible with Windows NT. I then try to start the game and it made going to the loading screen then "not responding". Windows NT is the old processor of 1993, and I was wondering if my computer messed up and considering this isn't Vista more. If anyone has any ideas on what's exactly happened to my computer please let me know.

Hello

  • threads, processes and the dual core processors

    Hello

    We use the CVI and we want to use multithreading. The application is running on a dual core processor, so the question is if it is possible to define the basis on which the thread is running? Does anyone know if it is possible to start a program, process, or a thread on a predefined kernel?

    If this is not possible with the CVI, is it possible directly with the Windows API?

    Thank you

    AWESOME, thanks I'll try.

  • 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!

    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.

  • How can I load the classic games such as Solitaire and FreeCell on my new Windows Vista computer?

    I just bought a new computer with Windows Vista business.  It comes with games, but not the classics that I'm used to.  I would like to be able to download classic Solitare and Free Cell.  Can you tell me where to get them and how to download them?  Thank you.

    joshuasmama,
    Well, I'm not familiar with this games has on the Business edition.  However if the games are available and all simply not loaded then you can load the as follows:

    Click Start > Control Panel > programs > "Turn Windows features on or off" (it is listed under the "programs and features")
     
    A window opens with a list of all Windows components that are available.  If it has a check mark next to it, then he is responsible. Then go to the 'Games' folder, click on the + to open the folder.  If the games you want are listed and unverified, then put a check mark next to them and click OK.  They will then arrange.

    If already, he has control and is not in your list of games, and then uncheck the box, click ok, restart, and then back in, check it out.

    Try and let us know what happens.

  • My Vista theme, replaced by the classic theme of the Windows while it's self from one day to the next.

    Last night, I used my computer and everything was fine. I used it up to this as 02:00, and everything was fine. When I got up at 8 this morning to get ready for work, I did my usual ritual (bathroom, breakfast, facebook, shower, leaves), and when I got to the part of facebook, I turned on my laptop and noticed he was in the classic view. I searched through every place I can think of (all settings for themes and personalization Control Panel) and found nothing. In particular, when I went to "Change theme" it only shows "Windows classic" as the only option. It bothers me because I hate the Windows Classic view. I mean, it does not affect the functionality of the computer, he looks really old and it's annoying that it cannot be corrected.

    Hello

    The themes service may be having a problem and stopped, we will check:

    1. Windows key + R, in the Run dialog box type services.msc

    2. once in Services, find themes, double click it and make sure that it is set to Automatic and started. If this isn't the case, fix and start it.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite P100: No CD Windows Vista but only the recovery CD

    Hi, I recently bought a toshiba satellite P100, but it does not seem to have fitted with a disc of Windows Vista, only the preinstalled Vista.

    The laptop works fine for now, but I'm a little worried that if something is wrong in the future, I will have no way to reinstall the OS.

    The laptop came with a recovery disk, and I don't know if Vista is included on this?

    If it isn't in any way I can make a copy of vista installed on my HARD drive?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Don t worry, you don t need to make a copy of your HARD disk, since you already have a vista on your recovery media.

    If you have problems with your system and you want to re - install, then backup all your data on an external, put the recovery in your CD/DVD drive, boot from it and then just 'recover' or 'reinstall' your system. The recovery process works automatically and you will have an installation "factory-like" after recovering from your machine.

    Hope, I could explain it... ;)

    How to uninstall windows vista or reformat the c drive?

    Hello

    You do not uninstall Vista as such.

    Vista cannot uninstall itself by Vista, formatting the drive that is installed on. In other words it cannot remove itself.

    You install another operating system, removal of Vista during the installation process of the other operating system...

    You don't say exactly what you are trying to do.

    You can format a disk if it a second drive with the Dual Boot operating systems and leaves without data or the operating system on it at all.

    Hello

    A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

    Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

    See you soon.
