Why this update made my vista looks like 98? (screenshot)

Hello

I recently installed updates for Windows Vista on my laptop. I stopped him and turned on the next day to find the Start button, toolbar and all windows look as if they have a style of windows 98 for them.

It was also a message about accounts how temporary can not be used, and as an administrator, I have the right to see the windows service center. I clicked on the message and nothing happened.

There's a screenshot provided!

It was the response that gave me and the restart worked

Restarting the computer seems to have solved this problem.

... and the following links given by the moderator Support Ms.

Since you already did system restore, I advise you to disable McAfee and run Windows Update.

P.S if you're open to the evolution of your AV, consider using Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials - both are FREE and are effective

    (1) there was an update to Windows XP sp1 would recognize higher than 127 readers ~ 137 GB, why this update was not in the version later service pack?

    (2) where can I find so that I can then reinstall windows XP, updated to sp1, install the patch to see the complete player to sp2 and 3 can be installed?

    original title: supervision XP

    Maybe the disc has been formatted as part of your original installation of Windows XP with a pre - SP1 version of Windows.  At that point, he could only format the drive as 137 GB.  After you upgrade to a post-SP1 version of Windows, look at your hard drive with Disk Manager (start-> Run-> "diskmgmt.msc").  It can show the rest of your unused space that you might then be able to allocate in a second partition.

    If you want to keep one big partition, you will need to get a 3rd third party tool that can extend your current 137 GB partition to use more of the available space.  Google for it, plenty of them out there including those that are free.

  • Why this update needs suddenly an index partitioned locally to run fast?

    Dear,

    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
    AMT for Solaris: release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

    I would like to understand the following situation.

    I have a partitioned table defined as range
    part_tab (id, dat, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
    This table is partitioned on dat range and has a primary key on (b, id, dat) covered by a unique index of the tree b (b, id, dat). The PK column order is not the same as in the definition of the table!
    This table is filled every day by a night of employment (140,000 new records inserted every day) and also updated (800,000 updated records) as follows

    for x in (select id, dat, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i
    distant_tab say - simple heap table having a PK (id, dat, b) and accessible through a dblink
    where dis.dat between trunc (sysdate-7) and trunc (sysdate - 1).
    )
    loop
    Update part_tab loc
    set
    Loc.c = dis.c
    loc.d = dis.d,
    loc.e = dis.e,
    loc.f = dis.f,
    loc.g = dis.g,
    loc.h = dis.h,
    loc.i = dis.i,
    where
    Loc.b = dis.b
    and loc.id = dis.id
    and loc.dat = dis.dat
    end loop;

    commit;

    This update took 40 minutes to finish in PRODUCTION for more than 3 months.

    Last week the distant_tab has been purged and went from 12.000.000 records to 1,000,000 records.
    But the update is still almost a fixed number of records to be updated (800,000 records). Statistics on a remote table has also been updated and the updated runtime remains almost the same (40 minutes).

    Unfortunately, one day, this update started taking 3 hours to complete. So it has been for 3 days until we have created a unique partitioned index local (dat, id, b) on part_tab which
    did the update runing on less than 10 minutes.

    Unique consistency, that I can do with this suddenly high time update is that it starts happening immediately in the distant aftermath of the table
    distant_tab has been shrinked (offline) to set the high-water line. Maybe it has nothing to do with this 3 hours run time but it is worth mentioning.

    So my question is:

    Why this update, which took 40 minutes for more than 3 months, it must now have an index partitioned locally rather than the index b-tree in 10 minutes, otherwise it will take 3 hours?

  • Installed the updates, but the display looks like windows 98 and the Wireless does not work

    Hello
    I use a laptop with vista service pack 2 and I tried to update windows via windows update on the recommendation of the support page from microsoft on how to unload a debugger. There are only three optional updates available, I forgot what they are and after restarting the computer the theme looked like windows 98 and my without wire might work, and also, I was still having problems with the game with the question of the debugger.

    What should I do?

    (And Norton) McAfee applications are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. The 'remains' of McAfee may be cause of your problem.

    1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4 test cycle.

    NB: If the application pre-installed McAfee subscription or free trial period has expired before you install Threatfire, the latter may not have installed correctly and can not work correctly since you installed it.

    After a reboot, make sure the theme recurs.

    Hello

    Can you describe exactly what has happened to the desktop settings?

    If it is something that is easily repairable, I would recommend that.

    If you can not solve the problem, use the system restore point that was created before you install the update to return the system to the State of prior update.

  • After the update to Vista, the toolbar looks like Windows 98... Can not solve it

    Yesterday, I let Windows do a update before stopping and restarting.  Normally, I set up this computer to "Hibernate" and rarely close.

    After the reboot, the menu of the taskbar and start looking at is no longer as they have for years.  It's as if I installed Windows 98.  I tried to find a way to get it back to how it was, in the Panel and right on the desktop, etc, and the search for an answer on the internet.  But I am unable to get a satisfactory answer.
    Someone at - it suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

    Kayla, if you have this irritating problem, I found the answer here.  The re-booting could help to others, but he did nothing here :(   If such was the case with you, also, try this:

    The cursor somewhere on an area empty office, right click and select 'Preferences' or 'customize' and then 'theme'... and then, in this window, select "windows vista" in the options that appear after you click on the small triangle/arrow that points down.  He tells then wait you (a moment) and then, bingo, the way it was!
    Hope this helps... :)
