Windows 7 basic theme can only be applied on the desktop
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, serv., 1 pk. I'm running with the Windows 7 Basic theme, but whenever I try, I get the message "this theme does apply on the desk.". This is the original Windows 7 basic theme. It is NOT a 3rd party theme. It is not a Windows 7 Starter pack. It simply does not work. He ran at some point, but no more (at the same time I have tried a few other themes from the Control Panel, but now, it and ALL of the Aero themes are "grayed out" out on the personalization control panel page). I can't even try to select here. I went into the Windows/themes directory to find the base file and double clicked on that. And got the message noted. Any help would be appreciated. All the help I've found talks about running a 3rd party fix but that seems to be 3rd party themes. This is the Microsoft theme given real deal who DID run at a time. Thanks for your time.
Hello
If your computer is connected to a Group Policy administrator may have turned off themes in order to not, users can change the theme. I had the same problem on a laptop computer connected to a network of school, it took me weeks to find a way around it. follow these steps:
Step 1: Click on start and open Panel.
Step 2: In the Control Panel click on system and security, and then click Administrative Tools
Step 3: In ATools click on Services
Step 4: You must scroll until you find the themesin Services, and then double-click themes
step 5: Start Up Type should say disabled click on it and change it to Automatic
Step 6: Close everything down and restart your laptop for the settings you changed will apply.
I hope this works

In windows Vista Basic how can I remove and resize the pagefile
Well I don't have this problem with any other os but vista Basic, well, when I try to delete the pagefile through advanced system settings and restart for some strange reason, the pagefile is still. I tried to move the swap file on a flash drive and that he did not either. How can I delete the swap file in vista basic? I'm trying to resize and make it bigger, but I don't want 2 small page-files only a principal to save the hard drive the work of reading back between the 2 of them.
You cannot delete the pagefile because Vista cannot function without it - and it is not necessary to do what you want to do. Yet, the size can be changed without requiring a multiple page files. Here is the procedure:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/understanding-windows-vista-paging-file-size/. NOTE: To get there go to start / Control Panel / System / advanced system settings / performance / settings / advanced / Virtual memory (instead of the way they tell you in the article). Then uncheck the box to let Windows manage and hoped that would be the input parameters (but I recommend you let Windows manage it - increasing, it's not really help this as much as you are strongly constrained by the amount of RAM)- but the decision is yours.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

How can I change the color of the Windows 7 Basic theme?
After a year of the default theme for Win7 (which I liked), for a nice change, I passed to the Windows 7 basic theme. It is somewhat a return to the 95/98 default theme, and the taskbar are a clear/grey blue. Is there a way I can darken the color a little the taskbar, but keeping all the rest on this theme (form and UI icons, etc.)?
In the section Customize, Windows had a link to the MS site for additional themes, but none of them had what I wanted."Is there a specific option that determines the color of the taskbar?
It's been so long I forgot what I did, but I found it. You must use the option 3D objects.
However, this also changes the bar tools, scrollbar, tabs and buttons (maybe more)
so may not suit your needs because it will darken all of these features.This has led me to research for more information which has me thinking that I can finally
play with AREO-THIS - link has some interesting comments about the AERO of Shawn B.
I still need to read the following (on my next list) but it can be interesting to play with.

If I use the "Windows 7 Basic" theme on my laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook A532), the Firefox window is not painted.
I see only the edge of the window, the content is not. As soon as I switch back to the theme of "Windows 7."
It works again.
It could be related to the graphics (from Intel) driver of my new laptop.
Before I had a desktop computer and not had this problem.Update: the problem only happens if I use my port replicator (Fujitsu USB Port Replicator PR07).
If I unplug the Replicator and only use my laptop, any computer screen is fine.Install the latest drivers solved the problem

Question of office
I can only place icons on the left side of my desk. How can I do so I can place them anywhere. The Startup icons in my taskbar, are also in the middle. How can I move them to the left? The crazy kids got a plug of the computer and swiched everything on accident.
Remember a "good date" when your office was in good condition?
If so, do a system restore. Choose this "good date" or before this as your restore point.http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

application of windows 8... can I use to open the ram files and how it works
I think you are talking about the files with a. Extension of RAM. If that is the case, have a read of the information at the link following, be careful, do not click on the buttons of the big 'Download Now' here, they are simply advertisements:
http://www.FileInfo.com/extension/RAM
Real Player is a program that should help you to open these files. You can search and download the Windows Real Player 8 compatible version on their site.
I hope this helps!

My computer crashes after I installed the Netgear N600 Wireless Dual band Router WNDR3400. I uninstalled and then reinstalled, but my home computer still crashed. My detail of error says I may need to update my BIOS to 8400 has 09 but I can't seem to download the desktop to install. Any suggestion?
Hi JudyWinn,
If you need assistance for updating BIOS (Basic Input Output System), I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your computer to update the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & check if the problem persists.
Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
Hope the helps of information.
Please post back and we do know. -

HI I have a mini HP with Windows 7 Starter and when I use the basic outline of Windows 7 that I can not change the options of color... once I chose to apply color options, that I touched and I always get only the basic blues... I noticed that this kind of "flat" so
Hello Saiajin,
In classic Windows help, you will be able to change the colors of the active title bar, etc.
You can experiment with different color options in the games of different colors at your disposal in order to determine the exact combination you prefer.
