View 7 Replies View RelatedDefault Themes List In Vista
Dec 8, 2008I kinda downloaded some themes for Vista and well... all the folders kinda mixed with the default one.
So, I'm looking for a list of the Official included themes in Vista.
I know that there are :
- Aero
- Classic Windows
I know there was at least 5 of them.
If possible can someone can ZIP and send me the themes in question (C:WindowsResourcesThemes) it would be less difficult to figure out what themes I need to restore from the Bin.
And, yes, my Vista is legit. (and in FRENCH)

Dec 12, 2009I am not a big time computer guy but am learning more and more everyday. I have an HP DV7 64 bit laptop and have dad it since February. In order to try and speed up my computer I have gone in the task manager and msconfig and changed some settings since then and now the computer is running slower. I made recovery disks before I did any of that "tweaking" to the system. WhatI want to know is .....is there any place I can go to get a list of just what exactly should be running in the background? is there somewhere in the computer where I can basically just reset the system back to the default settings? I now have lost windows Aero and cannot access the colors in themes anymore.

Mar 13, 2007I'm running vista basic and I'm not at all happy with the default vista theme. It' really really ugly. I dont want to upgrade to premium because I don't need the extra features(just aero).
So is there any way to add new themes? I understand that objectdesk(I think that's what it's called) will let you change themes but I don't want anything running to just change the looks of things. is there any other alternatives(even if it's just a better non aero theme)?
Video Card Cannot Play Themes
Mar 23, 2008i recently had to reinstall my Windows Vista Home Premium. I am not the best with computers, so I am very stuck on this issue. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS video card installed.

I have NVidia GForce 6200 chipset card, and now I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, but I had the same problem in Vista x64. If I move to 16 bit colors it solves,also with basic theme without Aero. I tried many drivers updates but nothing changed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe Recommended Updates Was KB940157: Windows Search 4.0 For Windows Vista For X64-systems (11,8MB).
Aug 19, 2008I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition Dutch Version, updated with SP1 and all the patches/updates until today. However, I have encountered two problems lately, that might be related. During one of the last Windows update sessions, one of the recommended updates was KB940157: Windows Search 4.0 for Windows Vista for x64-systems (11,8MB).
The update downloaded succesfully, created a restore point, but then during installation of Search 4.0, windows update stops and announces an update fail error:
Failed: 1 update
Errorcode: 800F0900
I've been googling this particular error code in combination with KB940157, but it doesn't bring up any entries. Then later on, I discovered that when I go into the Windows Components window (via Control Panel, Add/remove software), the entire windows stays blank (first it says "Wait a few moments..."). This only lasts a few seconds then shows a complete empty window.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Provides No Real Benefits: Vista / Windows 7 Are Mostly Transparent To Normal Users - Even Monster Power Users
Oct 9, 2009I calculated that to migrate to Vista or Windows 7 will cost close to =A32000. not including my time - It will take around 100 hours. This is because many of my existing software / tools / utilities does not work on Vista and the vendors expect me to buy a new license because it is a "new product" even though it does exactly what it did before - just on a different OS. Even the products that do work have problems and glitches that have to be worked around. All this takes time MY VALUABLE time. In other words I am suffering because Microsoft want money. In the past some versions of windows were worth migrating to Windows 2000 and Windows XP were great
But most of the improvements to Vista / Windows 7 are mostly transparent to normal users - even monster power users like me. I believe Microsoft have a serious attitude problem. just wait until they take full advantage of TPM to screw even more money out of us. If I am wrong please point out a real tangible benefit that Vista or Windows 7 brings to a large percentage of users or to me. I also I can no longer buy a laptop because they only come with Vista GPU drivers (some come with buggy unsupported XP GPU drivers - great)

View 9 Replies View RelatedWindows Vista, SP2 With 2 GB Of RAM
Jul 29, 2009I'm running Windows Vista, SP2 with 2 GB of RAM. All WU's are current. On June 23 I foolishly installed (from a pirated CD) a copy of Finale 2002 Music notation program. While the program does seem to work, I'm now having problems with his program either freezing itself (requiring a hard shutdown), freezing Windows or my computer freezing when other apps are open, like Firefox.
Finale 2002 was obviously created for OS's prior to Vista.I'd like to uninstall this program but selecting it on Add/Remove and trying to uninstall it gives the following error message: "An error occurred while trying to uninstall Finale 2002. It may have been already uninstalled. Would you like to remove Finale 2002 from the Programs and Features List". I've been selecting `No'.
The `uninstaller' file that comes with Finale 2002 does nothing when invoked.Since I created a Restore point prior to installing Finale 2002 on June 23, I tried to restore the computer but at this point I can no longer view that point. It won't show on the list of restore points, even if I show restore points older than 5 days. Has that restore point been permanently deleted? If so, is there a way to estore the computer to some date prior to June 23rd. Or perhaps there's a program I can download that will correctly uninstall Finale 2002. I looked on the internet but to no avail. I thought about just re-installing the program again but am afraid of screwing up my Registry.

Getting Bad Feedback From Windows Vista
Apr 6, 2008I am having quite some issues with a new computer that we got for our
company's director. It is an HP Pavilion Media Center m8325f Elite. Although
it comes with Windows Vista Home edition, we bought the upgrade to Windows
Vista Business edition. Once we installed this upgrade, we started having a
blue screen every other time we reboot this computer. The error code that we
get ( 0x0C5 ) talks about a driver that got corrupted. There are some
articles in your site that suggests choosing a specific starting mode to
identify which driver is the one that tries to use a page outside its pool.
It is not even a month since we bought the computer, and now we are
having another kind of blue screen in which Windows complains about a
specific antivirus file that got corrupted.
