Windows 7: Theme and Aero questions
original title: duty 7 acclimitizing of the extreme difficulty of XP. None of the online instructions seem to resemble what I do experience or the other.
I don't know why this is, but none of the instructions related to windows 7 seem to resemble what I see on the screen. My biggest hang up right now is the 'theme' of windows 7 which, in theory, can change to the classic version of windows - only "customization" routines described on several sites, including microsoft seems to apply.
so, how can we get the classic them anyway?
and how to recover the function of the taskbar where rolling on all open programs get it a preview of the window? He disappeared, and I don't see the option to bring him back.
and say that I wanted to see the control panel in "classic" mode, how do I do this?
I'm so lost...
Yes, I know where is the persolization window, but clicking on a classical theme of windows gives me different colors but exactly the same confusing features. I don't really see a huge difference. I'm looking for is the menus gray neutral without the many contours, lines, shadows and transparencies that I see when I click on a "classic" theme Basically, I want it looks like XP - which he did not.
Even when I use a "aero" theme I always get only the text when I rollover an item in the taskbar.
really, this shouldn't be so hard, and I'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with my computer itself. Windows 7 came preloaded with my new HP laptop
Hello
If you have an Aero theme enabled, you should definitely see a thumbnail popup for a program that has files or open Web sites. You can ask HP support about it. You can also run the Aero troubleshooter.
Open the Aero Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.
In the search box, type Troubleshooting, click Troubleshootingand then, under appearance and personalization, click display Aero desktop effects. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
In the window that appears, select Advanced link at the bottom of the window and place a check in the option apply repairs automatically .
Click the Next button.
If the convenience store doesn't find any problems, select the Explore additional options .
As to make Windows 7 looks exactly like XP, it will be difficult to do because so many components have been changed, first in Vista and then even more in Windows 7.
If you use the classic theme, you can go to customize and click the color at the bottom of the window. This will display the dialog box options display old style that you can use to change the colors on many elements, such as Menus, message boxes, etc.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Windows 7

I just wanted a simple windows basic theme (without the effects special aero) using the Windows 7 basic theme. However, I don't really like the colors of pale blue windows, and I would also prefer to have a different color, or shadow, since the inactive windows active window.
Can I change the colors of theme, if I select a Windows aero theme, or if I select the Windows Classic theme. However it does not seem possible to change colors using the non-aero, Windows basic theme.
Am I missing a setting here? Find it me hard to believe that there is no provision to change the colors of the window in the basic theme.
Any help would be appreciated.

My windows vista basic and aero doesn't work, please help?
When I go to appearance settings and click windows aero or vista basic color scheme, the appearance above box shows just black and nothing will change. I am able to use are classic and standard windows. I tried going into services and back running the themes service that did not work. I also did a system restore to a month when I had the problem and that no longer works. Help, please!
Unless you or someone of another 'twisted' of the system, otherwise, Vista Home Basic doesn't have Aero application in the system.
Microsoft has decided to no Aero to computers Home Basic.However, you can easily google for the method to activate (hack, tweak) Aero in basic home edition.
I can only tell you this now. The rest is up to you.

Hi all!
I need help. I just bought a new computer that has Windows 7 on it. This old computer is 7 years old
and last year I had put win 7 professional about it. I'm trying to delete files on it. How can I do this correctly.
What I need to remove the Windows 7 Professional out of it since I bought it and have the license and the disc. Or, do
to keep the disc and just remove it from this computer. What happens if someone else wants the computer I leave it on and
Give them the disc. How can I handle this? I am new to this? Someone just set up my new computer and I want to
to make sure that I have all my passwords and other things out of that right.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME SOON! A.S.A.P.! Cause I need to work for the new space.
Thank you. Sharon
If you delete all partitions found (when booting from the cd of win) it will only destroy what is on the hard drive of the PC (all data can be saved), he won't do anything to victory dvd
If your new PC shipped with win7 preinstalled you need not really your origonal dvd win7. -You can sell or keep
If you do not want to give the old PC, then simply remove the hard drive (how can be found on google) and destroy the hard drive with a heavy hammer
(A seven year old PC is practically worthless)

How to restore the Windows XP theme?
I somehow lost the Windows XP theme and that you have only the available Windows Classic theme. How can I restore it?
Go to the following directory: c:\windows\Resources\Themes.
The following files must exist:
- Luna.Theme
- Windows Classic.theme
In addition, a folder called Luna with subfolders.
These files exist? If so, double-click Luna.theme to open the display properties dialog box. Apply the theme.

Changed to Windows Classic theme
I used Registry Mechanic to optimize the performance of my computer and suddenly, the theme changed to Windows Classic
I can not change anything to the Windows Vista theme, and the theme file is missed
Are there solutions?
Click Start and type services.msc, and then press
. Scroll down and locate the themes service and click on it. Then click on start or restart option in the left column. Once restarted, you should be able to select again the theme of Windows Vista in the control/customization panel.

themes and thumbnails not showing windows 7 home permium 32bits
I help pls dono what to do I reinstalled the graphic driver then it shows the picture dark problem of thumbnails and aero themes
Hello
Sorry for the late reply.
What is brand and model your computer?
I only refer to this post by Diana D, dated October 29, 2010, where, in a similar question was addressed.
Follow the link below:
Also, try the steps below to resolve this issue.
Method 1: run Aero troubleshooting
Use this tool to diagnose and fix problems with Aero automatically.
Open the Aero Troubleshooter
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Aero-Troubleshooter
Method 2: apply the Aero theme
If the Aero Troubleshooter is not the thing, maybe it's just that the Aero feature has been accidentally disabled.
Try this:
(a) right click on the desktop.
(b) select Customize.
(C) select one of the available Aero themes.
See if the preview is up.
For your information, you can take help from the post of Irfan H dated 12 April 2010 the link below

My music files have changed in wma format in windows media player, and now my mp3 player won't play them. can anyone help please.
original title: Media PlayerDownload and install WMA to MP3 Converter, then install it, you can get it here... http://www.WMA-MP3.org/
Then select all the WMA files you want to convert, and then convert them to the MP3 Format.The reason why they are WMA is because when you ripped the files on the disc to your pc, by default, Windows Media Player is configured to save in the Windows Media Audio (WMA) Format.This default can be changed by opening Media Player and click on Tools > OptionsThen select the Rip music tabFormat: select MP3 from the drop-down list.Click apply and OK.Now the next time you rip a CD on your drive hard it will be automatically saved as an MP3 file. -
