• 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!

  Restarting the computer seems to have solved this problem.

  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

• 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.

• I bought WINDOWS 7 from a 3rd party and looks like it's been hacked

  I bought WINDOWS 7 from a 3rd party and looks like it has been hacked.  I would like to come back to Win Vista, my laptop came with the manufacturer.  I have the Vista product key sticker, how can I find the software to reinstall it?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  Hello

  Classic view gives Windows the look and behavior of earlier versions. To restore the default theme, try the following steps.
  1. open theme settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization and then clicking theme.
  2. under theme, select the theme in the drop-down list and click OK.

• This could be a new one for you. When I start firefox, my W7 machine loses its aero frame and looks like Windows 95, but worse yet, because the colors are grainy.

  For some reason, starting today, when I open Firefox, immediately the screen turns black momentarily, then icons and task bars turn gray and low resolution, (specifically a Windows 95-skin), images become badly pixelated and almost unreadable fonts (clear type crashes, I presume). Also the number of colors decreases considerably, so that it looks like Windows 95 or even much earlier! I restarted my computer several times, but he won't shake it. This behavior is quite inexplicable. Help, please.

  I am running Firefox 38.0.5 and Windows 7 Service Pack 1, to date, on a 64-bit, 4 GB RAM, Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz.

  I took a screenshot, but it does not load in the image box add here.

  Hello, please click on the icons on the desktop firefox, then go to Properties > compatibility. Make sure that none of the parameters are selected...

• I am running a skin on my Windows XP to make it look like Windows 7. Is this legal?

  I use SevenMizer 1.2 on my Windows XP system. These skins are legal?

  As long as you have a legal copy of Windows XP and it does not change the file system, you are correct probabally. If it's just changes the appearance to look like Windows 7.

  However, you should read the EULA to be sure.
