original title: theme Windows Vista problem

My vista is stuck on the standard theme of windows after you have cleaned my disk space and I checked my services and I have all the updates (I don't have norton) also on the choice of color scheme when I select Windows Vista Basic or Windows Aero, it shows an empty black window and I don't know what to do.

Hello

try going to your graphic card manufacturers site or computer and are looking for the driver download section

Search your computer or graphics card model number based on what you have and download and install the latest graphics drivers for vista

then repeat settings

If the foregoing does not it, try this;

Run the sfc/scannow command.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

  • How can I change the standard account on behalf of Administrator without administrator privileges?

    Original title: uac is restricting my access Add or change account

    My uac has no opition for Yes just not how to change my standard account to administrator account

    and how would I do that I deleted my hidden administrator account and my off my guest account so if I didn't change anything, I have to be an administrator if he allows me to have Yes tab revealed to a click...

    When you say that you moved your hidden administrator account, are you talking about the account named "Administrator"? Since it is a built-in account, Windows won't let you remove it.

    If you are referring to your own admin account then removing would be to throw out your safe master key. I can't quite work on how you could do that, but you can get it from this reckless action as follows:
    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you did what you did.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

    Hey Buddy

    Unfortunately, this is not possible.
    It s a Portuguese Vista OS preinstalled and you cannot change the language.
    If you want to use an English Vista the you must buy an original Vista operating system in the English language.

    If you want to use the Vista Enterprise and Ultimate for Vista, then you can download a Pack of MUI (MUI).
    But as a Home Premium user, you can use the interface (MUI).

  • How can I change the size of my content in windows Vista?

    I have two accounts in my Vista operating system. Somehow, I don't remember how, I set the guest account to the 'big' if my partner can read. However, my account has now by default 'big' - which means the appearance is very blurry and I can't read an entire e-mail on the screen, among other extremely troublesome issues. I tried to go through Control Panel-> personalization where you are given a choice of standard or superior font size. This is already done to the standard (smaller) and it does not change when I restart the computer. So my question is this: How can I change the appearance of these TWO accounts that look big, fuzzy, hard to read (including fonts, icons and all the content of the window) to the standard and readable format that fits the screen? Desperately needed help because I'm working here. Thank you.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    Either the system restore point is already created for an earlier date, or is not available.

    You cannot create a restore today Point to return to yesterday.

    You can create a restore today Point to use in the future.

  • How can I change the default topics listed in Windows Explorer?

    When I look at the files in Windows Explorer there are positions that I find little use for me. I would like to change the default headings listed to display only those that I use most often as update, size, Type and Date of creation. How can I change the default settings for securities so that these topics, such as tags and side are not displayed?

    To change the headers, right-click on the header bar, and click more.  You will see a list of options to be included in the header, and you can place about to adapt to your desires.  But they will not stick unless you modify the template for this type of file.  Procedures for this follow-up.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how reset the display settings of Windows Explorer folder (which is what I think you want), disable Automatic folder Type discoveryand increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget not the display, model of file type settings, the size or the position of a window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Icons of Windows/folder/images virgins; can not change the background in the image.

    Thus,.

    I don't know what happened, but I had somehow the virus/trojan thingy goingonearth.com... I don't even know if it has nothing to do with my problem. I know that since discover and try to remove the virus/trojan said, I experienced a few problems:
    1. my file & image icons (tiles) were literally emptied in large mode. But there is NO icon file (photo). The text/image folder is still there. The REAL folder icon shows when using small icons, but if I switch to large icons, it extends a smaller and makes VERY pixelated (sp?) (photo). In any case, I have inserted screen captures.

    2. When you delete a file, I noticed the associated picture icon is black (photo).

    3. I can't change my desktop image using the photos, I can however change the solid color black color I want OR I can use a canvas photo and set it as my desktop. The icons below the screen background images is empty as well (photo).

    I can assure you that I unchecked the "always show icons, never thumbnails" option in the Folder Options under control panel (photo).

    ANY help would be appreciated, it drives me crazy.

  • I can't change the language interface of win vista

    I can't change the language interface of win vista

    Hello

    Browsing the forum here it looks like there are a few options, you can try:

    If the language bar is not listed in the menu toolbars, you do not have many input languages installed on your computer. You must add other languages using region and language in Control Panel. For more information, see Add or change an input language

    This is an additional option of "Old GrayGary" with the link here:

    http://www.techsupportforum.com/members/113412.html

    Quick-Fix:

    Do you have a language icon in your system tray? (If you switch between two choices of language installed / entry screen, the current selection must display in the system tray: for example IN English, JP for Japanese, etc.). Make sure that you have not chosen to "Hide inactive icons" in your bar spots Vista 'Properties' - or the icon can not be displayed. If you see such an icon, you should be able to right click on this icon and choose 'Restore the language bar' in the option dialog box.

    Quick-Fix #2:

    Since the language bar is a system setting, and the problem is recent, you might be able to recover your old settings using Vista System Restore utility - using a restore point out just before the language bar disappeared. You would probably go to Windows Update to reinstall all critical patches that have arrived since the time that the restore point was created originally.

    _______________

    Must neither of these approaches works, try to visit the region and Language Options in the Vista Control Panel.

    Control Panel

    Clock, language and region

    Regional and Language Options

    If you use different languages with your devices, you visit the "Keyboards and languages" tab and select "Change keyboard" - in the "text Services" and input languages window, the middle tab is "Language bar" - I think that the option to show or hide the taskbar is available here. If you use different languages for display only, you can go directly to the option "Change display language" from the regional and Language Options (and try the "Language bar" tab there).
