View 5 RepliesI can't find/open theme window to change themes.
When I right click, Personalize. I don't have a 'Theme' option to click on. I tried looking every where on how to get it back or to change themes another way. This is my last option to fix this. Here is a screen shot on what I am trying to explain.
Vista Ultmate
Windwos Explorer cut and paste fails.
1) will not do it.
2) leaves empty folders behind.
Cut and paste to folder of same name always fails one way or another.
Says save folder so I check the do i anyway box and it seems to run but
really does not.
Never had this problem in XP.
From D: to C: or from Pen Drive to C: etc.
And it is very slow doing any kind of copy.
A utilit I have does 60 Bytes / sec.
WE does < 1MByte/Sec.
Very poor performamce through WE.
What can Ido to fix this.
same with SP1 too.
I was just wondering if it was possible for the computer to boot with a broken motherboard ...
I thought without the motherboard you wouldnt even be able to get to the BIOS ... is this right?
i know this might just be a minor issue but im can't figure out why my icons are not showing up for some "files" like Adobe Extention Packages (.mxp) and (.html, .htm) and such not sure if i have others that are missing really haven't looked at all of them just yet but i can't figure out how to fix that. I am new to the whole x64 Vista so im not sure how it works when it comes to regedit and stuff like that if it's the same as 32 bit.
Additionally i have installed IconPackager by Stardock to try and fix it, no luck. Then i tried Microangelo On Display and that didn't work either. Not sure what else to do. Futhermore i have tried changeing the registry key to the default icon like in Vista 32 bit under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOThtmlfileDefaultIcon and setting the Default Value to "1%" and again that didn't work either. So let's just say i don't know where to go from there.
does anyone no how to fix the broken link for my music in the the start menu when i click it does nowt and when i right click it i get the options __copy__Rename and properties. but when i click properties its empty ,ive tried doing it through reg edit by going to the user shell folders but i see no my music registry to modify.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is the 3rd spacebar I have ordered. I realize there is that metal thing and where it goes in the spacebar. I checked as before to see that the metal thing was secure in the plastic holders. It was (as I thought before), and I proceeded carefully to put the spacebar back in (with the metal thing towards the back forming an upside down U). When I did, once again, the metal piece dislodged itself from inside the keyboard and I put it back, however, it's not firmy in the grooves as it was. It works, but feels different than all my other keys and sometimes, and it is not working smoothly. So now I have 3 spacebars with the metal bar. Previously, I taped it so it would not move and it worked, just not perfectly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy copy of System Restore Services on Vista Enterprise SP2 is BROKEN.This is presumabably because of dual boot with a Windows XP problem. I have fixed the XP registry to exclude Volumes it should not overwrite. I have tried turning System Restore off. That did not fix the problem. So I turned it back on. Now I am trying to "scrub" the system so that I can initialize a new System Restore Point and get on with life. But I would prefer not reinstalling everything which would take over a week.
When I use the system protection option, the "search for restore points option'hangs. The create system restore point button is grayed out. Automatic updates and those installs using Wise Installer stall and do not complete.Apparently something has locked the function. If you have a clue as to how to untie this knot.
my sisters HijackThis log >O10- Broken Internet access because of provider LSP 'c:windowssystem32wshbth.dll' missing. This appeared after she re-installed her OS. She has Vista Home Premium, SP2, IE8 and Firefox. Pretty much the same that I have but on a Dell laptop. She has no issues with her computer connecting nor running. I looked it up on SystemLookup and it is Windows Bluetooth related. See here > SystemLookup - O10 List Could someone please tell me what this refers to? There is one entry in the 04's that is related to this. See here > O4 - Global Startup: Bluetooth.lnk = ?

I can manually delete messages out of the outbox, so it is not the problems with "stuck" outgoing messages (although I did experience that problem a few months ago).
View 9 Replies View RelatedToday I started experiencing some strange problems with Vista's sidebar. I've never had this problem before and I've spent hours trying to fix the problem. Basically the problem I'm having looks something like this:
I've just dragged a few of the default gadgets to the sidebar to show you the problem I'm having. The Weather gadget seems to be the only one that is functioning correctly. I also cannot install user created gadgets from gallery.live.com.
I've already tried the many different combinations of re-registering various DLL files that I've seen around on the Internet but this hasn't made a difference. Could this be a problem with Java or XML? Is there a way of totally reinstalling the Vista Sidebar without having to a) do a System Restore or b) create a Vista installation disk to do a repair with?
I had a random crash today while installing the program Zone Alarm. Once I rebooted everything seemed fine except the Sidebar. All the gadgets appear blank and do not function and I can't seem to find any way to fix the problem. I tried downloading a new custom gadget but it did not work either. I tried looking at the help function and here but didn't see anything that would would.

I try to open network connections and instead explorer totally locks up and unable to to anything. Cannot connect to internet. Says "server communication failed" when I mouse over the network icon on toolbar. Was forced to restore to pre-SP1 and everything is fine again
View 5 Replies View RelatedMany programs have links embedded to allow an internet address to be opened e.g. a clickable button to open Internet Explorer (or other browser) and go to the program writer's site, or a button to look for updates. I've only just realised after a couple of months with Vista, that these don't work any more

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy son has managed to break Vista by trying to change the SID and rendering all the user accounts except a guest account account unusable. After many hours of searching i seem to find that the only solution is to reinstall Vista. I cannot log into any dministrator account to gain access to or take possession of the files from the inaccessible accounts that are still on the hard drive but i don't want to lose them as a result of einstalling. I have come up with a plan but have now idea if it will work. If i re-size and move the partition with the busted OS on and reinstall vista on the new partition i will create, will i be able to access the moved partition, take ownership of the files on it from my shiny new administrators account and copy them to the new partition. If anyone has a clue whether this will work please tell me or if there is another solution, i really don't want to lose the photos i hadn't yet managed to back up.
View 9 Replies View RelatedCan anyone explain this: 3219. The screenshot shows the folder view (in Windows Explorer), and a directory listing (in a Command Line window). Why is the Explorer window showing different filenames than the command line window? It's not so much of an issue, as I'm currently completing a scheduled backup of this drive using Nero Burning ROM, and will be formatting it soon.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi thought to get the aero theme to my windows vista. So i search in google how to get windows aero. I found a way to have by installing a free program called VistaGlazz 1.3 (Available in Cnet.com). So I downloaded the program, follow the instructions and installed
windows aero. First it was good but then i thought how to make it look more transparent. So i tried to download a custom theme of vista aero by someone else. I dont know how i screw it but the thing is that i put the theme file in C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes. I saw the old file of vistaglazz so i tried to delete it. But when i deleted it my computer got corrupted and the all the thing got in black. saw that my desktop was all in black. I coudnt even see the letters. So luckly i change my windows into the classic version. When i go to C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes i saw that my Windows Vista theme file had dissapear. Even in customization and apperreances there was no windows vista. So now iam using a aero without windows vista original theme file. I dont know how happened but I think that in a way my windows vista theme file got mixxed with vistaglazz aero file. So it got deleted.
I installed Vista SP1 Ultimate. By default the aero theme is activated. I would like to switch to the Vista standard theme, but it seems this theme is not present. In control panel / Appearance and Personalization / Personalization / Theme, there are only two themes listed: Windows vista (aero) and Windows Classic. Is there a way to install the Vista standard theme? It should be present in Vista Ultimate.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo a while ago, I installed a theme. It was some Alienware theme, some friend had recommended it. After a few days, I got bored of it and reverted my theme back to the default Windows Vista thingie. It was later I discovered it hadn't fully gone back to normal. Some folders icons were displayed as the Alienware ones. Not all, but only some. And they were all in the same area, my Documents folder, strangely. Anyways, I left it at that and since then it has really been bothering me and I've decided to get rid of it. One thing I did was go to the folder properties, go to that customize section, and set the icon to default. This worked for some folders, to my joy but it didn't work on some.
Another thing I discovered is the folders are only displayed like that on my particular user account, not on another one. I have tried deleting the icon cache or something like that, and I've used some program called Winbubble or something but nothing's been working. Any possible fixes or theories or whatever are welcome. A system restore isn't possible, as this, as mentioned, was a while ago.
I recently have updated programs and have been cleaning my registry with RegistryEasy. Suddenly the taskbar changed and the theme isn't vista-like anymore. I have attached a picture of the bits........

View 5 Replies View RelatedDownload Vista Glazz, patch the files, download a theme, extract it to Windows > Resources > Themes. I've done that, but no theme shows up, only the default ones. Browsing for it doesn't help either. Sorry if I'm not being very clear. But I guess all I'm asking for is a little tutorial so I can change the theme. Where to extract, where each file should be, etc.
