Windows visual style problem

• Visual style of Windows has been changed?

  Two days ago, I downloaded and ran a program auto-cliquant (that's a silly game). When activated, I noticed a change to what looked like my screen. I was confused and looked closer program. I noticed it was a setting that says "Visual Style changes Windows for Windows XP". After I closed the program, the visual style has not changed back and I noticed that the photos and images in other programs and games have slightly, but significantly and aggravatingly pixelated. Although I updated my computer, and even did a complete system restore, the images are always noticeably pixelated. If it's just my paranoia or actual Visual styles, I don't know, but at least I would like to know how to know and/or repair.

  Have a look here and see if you can improve your eyesight.

  Choose a different restore point, and see if that helps.

• Visual styles in Windows 7

  Please keep in mind that I'm not the most experienced computer scientist out there, as you can probably vocabulary I use. If excuse ahead for any errors I will probably do that.

  I was trying to download some programs that required me to turn the Visual styles and turn it on to work properly. According to their instructions:

  • I first opened Panel and selected the Tools and information on the performance
  • From there, I clicked on adjust Visual effects
  • Not sure how to do exactly to disable Visual styles, I click Adjust for best performance and clicked on apply
  • My computer everything came back blocky, not modern style, not the elegant I was uncomfortable with
  • Not like this change (my computer is very slow, so the change was unnecessary), I chose the ball Adjust to improve the appearance, thinking that this would change me back to my old layout

  Well, he didn't. So my question is, how can I go back to the default layout for Windows? Thank you very much!

• Visual styles for Windows 7

  Hello

  I need to create a new Visual Style for Windows 7 that will be installed on the client systems as part of Symantec's Ghost Image.

  I read that the custom visual style must be registered with Microsoft. Does anyone know the process on how to record the visual style? Also there is the tools provided by Microsoft to create Visual Styles?

  Thank you

  I was connected to the internet recently, my brother was cleaning my computer against malware with Avast, and then this problem with apperanse happened. I run "services.msc" and saw that themes were arrested, I started it and Windows XP apperance turned upwards immediately, but when I restart my computer it was Windows Classic style apperanse once again, and when I run "services.msc" themes have been arrested again. I've done several times more, but whenever I turned off my computer and restared it, Windows Classic style apperance came back.

  I am looking for the file, in which the themes must be - path to the executable "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe-k netsvcs" in Local Disc System XP SP2 (C), but I have not found it. I don't know, maybe it was delete when my brother computer scaned with Avast, it found some malware - win 32 and Trojan horse.

  Can you tell me what to do and how to fix this?

  I had reinstalled my OS and everything is ok now :) computer was full of malware (others on the computer is not working form me).

• My Windows XP has problems with shlwapi.dll

  My Windows XP has problems with shlwapi.dll and there are plenty of sites to download, but they all want money, why don't misrosoft not has an answer for this problem. When I try to update to internet explorer 6 to explore 8 then the error always pops up saying: you have a problem with shlawpi.dll and he can not continue... Very very frustrating.

  In general, it is not a good idea to download dll files.   See, for example, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findtheproblem/qt/dll-download.htm

  If you explain more in detail what your problem is, including providing the full text of the error without paraphrase, it is likely that someone in the appropriate Microsoft Answers forum will be able to help.

  Because it seems that your problem is related to Internet Explorer, you are more likely to receive help if you post in the forum Internet Explorer, where there are already many threads dealing with issues of shlwapi.dll on IE: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/Search/Search?SearchTerm=shlwapi&CurrentScope.ForumName=ie&CurrentScope.Filter=&askingquestion=false

  If you look through some of these threads, you can find the answer to your question without further delay.  If not (or if you just want to watch), do not forget to include not only the text of the error message, but also the version of Windows XP, you have (Home, Pro, Media Center) and its service pack (start > run > winver > OK).

  And, based on this thread - with what seems to be your exact problem - also include responses to the following questions (there no answer, certainly because the OP has NOT provided to the request for information):

  1. what application or anti-virus security suite is installed and is your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  2. do you have a free trial Norton, or a test of free McAfee [a] come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

• Windows 7 installation problem Pavilion dv6-6c45eg

  Since I have a free license for windows 7 Professional at home, I decided to install it on my new Pavilion dv6-6c45eg that came with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  The problem is that the installation process stops at the beginning and said something like: "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing... ", then he gives me the choice to load a driver. I googled a lot since yesterday and there seems to be something related to the SATA driver, however even load the SATA driver installation is not moving forward, after loading the driver it say that no new units have been detected.

  What I tried:

  * Install Windows 7 x 32 and x 64
  * Install from a USB flash drive

  * Install Windows 8 (same problem in Windows 7)

  * Check the SATA in the BIOS (not possible to see or modify on the BIOS F.19)

  * Search for the shortcomings of HD (even changed the HD)

  I'm sure it's something related to a driver, because I also installed Linux (OpenSuse, Fedora and Ubuntu) operating systems and they work fine.
  So, I would appreciate help to solve this problem.
  Thank you very much.
