Windows Vista Basic: Color scheme is missing

A few minutes earlier, I put my computer to sleep for 30 minutes and then when I turned it back on, I saw that the enlarge/reduce/Cancel buttons are all different. Then I realized that I could change is no longer the color scheme from Windows Vista. I have Windows Vista Basic and when I clicked on change the colors and appearance, a window pops up which had no colors to choose. I want my old Windows Vista Basic back and I'm panicking about how to solve the problem! Is no Aero de Windows option on my computer either!

In fact Windows Vista Basic doesn't support Aero. The Windows Aero visual experience includes bars menu similar to glass and Windows Flip 3D Live Thumbnails, these features are not available in it.

  • Windows Vista Basic colors - no option to change the colors?

    If I open the appearance settings I have the option to select a color scheme, like that I use which is Windows Vista Basic color scheme. However there seems to be no way to change the colors of the regime. I want to change default bluish tints to something different. If I hit the Advanced button, it has a clunky menu to change the color of windows, fonts, and other. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I changed the colors, but they do not apply in all cases and I'm still stuck with the blue wire.

    What is going on? Is easier to change the colors of the window? It makes no sense to me.

    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Cannot run the system error PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic has been replaced by Windows Vista Aero in Windows Vista Basic.

    Original title: PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic

    After you install the above program, I am not able to open it. I get a message saying that the color scheme has been changed from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. However, the program is still not open. Any ideas on what I should do?

    Hello

    1. is the issue limited to the program Print Master 2012 base Platinum?

    If you receive a message that some Visual elements, such as transparency, have been turned off or if you receive a message that the color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic, one of the following might have happened:

    ·         A program that you are using is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme. When you run a program that is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme, some Visual elements are automatically disabled. When the program is not is more running, the Visual elements that have been disabled will then automatically lit.

    ·         Your computer does not have to have enough memory to run all of the programs that you have open and also run the Windows Aero color scheme. Try closing some windows or changing your color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. If Windows automatically changed your game of colors in Windows Vista Basic, and you want to change it back to Windows Aero after closing some windows, follow these steps.

    See the link below:

    Call the manufacturer of your computer. Request a set of recovery disc for Vista Home Premium. Make sure that you mention, 32-bit or 64-bit in your operating system.
