I have a netbook running Windows 7 Starter, and then all of a sudden some features/devices were disabled, or I don't know...uninstalled?There's a distinct look for the Windows 7 taskbar, right? Well, when I turned the computer on, this was what the taskbar looked like:

It began looking like Windows XP or something. I tried checking the Color Management Settings but all it did was change the color, not the theme (you know, that circle start button)But the Start Menu was the same Windows 7 Menu, only that it had a different theme:

The windows looked like this instead of the smooth and semi-transparent window look in Win 7:

What surprised me was that the Audio was somehow disabled...or uninstalled...When I tried right clicking that audio icon in the taskbar, it asked me to install an audio device, since it was detecting some sort of problem in the audio:
I thought those were the only things that changed, so I went on with my work. But when I opened a spreadsheet in Windows Excel and tried to Print Preview, it gave me this:
I wish I could tell you more details about it, but I just can't describe what happened. I don't even know what happened...maybe I tweaked the computer settings by accident and then made the changes after it rebooted. And by the way, the network settings were also somewhat configured, says I'm not connected to anything (well in fact I have a fully functional broadband radio connected).
i wish to make a customized iso of windows 7, so that i can get all softwares ready to use after every time i install windows 7 in my computer(s). Customized iso can be made in UBUNTU LINUX using REMASTERSYS software. Is there any software like that for windows 7?
I have set up a windows 7 home premium box and I have put 2 users on it. The problem is that these users appear to be sharing a desktop in that if I delete an icon off one, it deletes it off the other. If I install a program for one, it installs it for the other without asking me. If I delete a start menu item for one, it deletes it for the other. I want the 2 users to be able to completely customize their desktop, icons, and start menu. Is this possible? On another of my Windows 7 home machines it would ask if I want to install it for just me or all users, but this new box never asks me. Is this a particular setting somewhere?
I wish if I could install automated windows 7 x86 directly from my USB pen drive/HDD without and CD/DVD with all applications. I have 2 laptops and one desktop machine in my home. I'm going away from home so I need to have a USB HDD so that even a layman can do the installation whenever required. Only c drive should be formatted not entire machine.
i cant seem to find out whether my laptop supports RAID.. my laptop

I have been trying to remove the (trial version) of TuneUp Utilities 2012 from my computer for over 3 weeks. My computer was hesitating and slow to respond to mouse clicks. So, I took a look at this program that cleans up old files, but, decided not to buy it. Mostly out of fear that this was another attempt to create a problem and charging a fee to fix it. The TuneUp Utilities file has been on my computer ever since. I have already uninstalled the program from my Control Panel and I tried Revo Uninstaller Pro (free version). It removed itself from Revo but not from my Program Data files. Another form of web deception where you enter the problem name to a list and they remove it from that list you just created. I can move it around but not into the recycle bin. What is this thing? How can I not have permission to do what I want on my own computer? XP would never do that! Please help me remove TuneUp Utilities 2012 from my computer.I am using Win 7 Pro w/XP mode, SP1, 64bit, i7, IE9.
Errors: �You need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes.� You need permission to do anything with this file. In fact, I have been using Win 7 without permission ever since I upgraded to it one year ago. My computer still hesitates and is still slow to respond to mouse clicks. The TuneUp Utilities Company is very cooperative though. If you ask the company (aka TuneUpMedia) for help they will eventually sell you another download that will not remove it either..After many emails they will do anything but that. I can uninstall it from my control panel but not from here:C:ProgramDataTuneUp SoftwareTuneUp SoftwareTuneUp Utilities 2012TTUSvclrt.tt or TTUSvc.tt

I downloaded an old game that I wanted to play again it finished downloading I installed it. Though it didn't install in the folder I wanted it to so I uninstalled it and started the installation again. Went through the process and put in the correct pathing D: program files (x86) it selected and smart highlighted program files x86 for me so i hit enter and the installer thought I was finished with the pathing when I was not and it went ahead and installed the game to that path.So once again I uninstalled the game and this time ... it uninstalled everything within "Program Files (x86) from A to L before I realized what was happening .. I quickly ctrl shift esc'd and canceled that process for the uninstaller and now alot of items are missing so many I don't even know what is gone.Unfortunately I do not enable system restore on any of my drives because I know malware can hide in there and some people recommend to keep it off.is there any way without using system
I was dealing with a creepy redirecting malware and I was connecting to bleepingcomputer.com a few times. I went back to connect to bleepingcomputer.com and the connection failed. I did some diagnosis and the detailed info said "The device or resource (www.bleepingcomputer.com) is not set up to accept connections on port �The World Wide Web service (HTTP)�." This was the only site that seemed to be targeted - I could connect to all other sites as far as I could tell.I used Malwarebytes and it found and removed a few files and one directory. I still could not connect to Bleepingcomputer. I looked through the programs that had been installed and found wone I did not recognize - which was installed just about the time of my problems.Then I made a mistake - I uninstalled it without getting a screen shot or writing down the name. The good news - I could now connect to Bleeping computer - but Id like to find out what the ell that was.
I am a computer tech that works with a wide variety of operating systems. However, a client of mine got a brand new HP with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit pre-installed. Everything was working, but he installed IE 9. Web applications were taking too long to load, so he uninstalled it using the add / remove programs.
This is where it gets interesting. IE 8 seems to work, until you try to download something interactively. For example I went to adobe.com and tried to install Acrobat Reader, the download would not begin.
I tried to install chrome, however the auto-install would not start. When I chose the standalone install for chrome, the direct link to download worked.
The customer uses webmail and in IE he can log into his email, view the emails, but can't delete. When he selects an email and clicks the delete button, the page refreshes, but the email is not deleted.
So I can't uninstall IE 8, I can only turn it off in the Windows Component applet, and I don't see a full install of IE 8 either. He needs IE for some of the web applications he is using in his business, so we need to get IE working. how to fully remove and reinstall IE 8?
I have just reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 ultimate from my USB today (not activated) and it all went well. Though when I went to the desktop, the resolution was all messed up and I can't connect to the Internet either even though everything is working fine with my router and Internet and stuff. So then I go to see if I can uninstall any programs and it shows there are no programs at all.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, looking for a cool desktop i downloaded a GNOME aplication, it installed correctly but when it was time for it to load up it just would turn my screen to black, then it would come back on again with the black screen, the pointer and in a second it would go black again for like 5 seconds... it would continue to do this endlessly, it wont load into windows, the only way it works is when i go in SAFE MODE. I uninstalled the software through its original UNINSTAL feature but still the problem persists.
Windows Updates recently automatically installed two .NET 4 updates. Almost immediately my system began misbehaving: my Firefox Booksmarks toolbar disappeared along with all the bookmarks it held, the shutdown/sleep/lock/logoff button in the start menu changed selection each time the Start menu was opened, desktop icons moved and/or disappeared each time the desktop was opened.
I uninstalled the two updates (Kb2468871 and Kb 2533523) and the system returned to normal.
I hid those 2 updates and changed my update setting to "notify but don't download" so MS doesn't install .NET updates I didn't know about BUT I am concerned that those 2 updates are still stored in my system.
I know that Windows stores updates in C:WindowsSoftware DistributionDownload. My dilemma is that there are more than 30 folders/files stored there and I can determine the contents of only the 2 folders. I can't open the files so I don't know which of them to delete to remove the .NET 4 updates. I've been installing MSE updates manually for the past week.
How can I clear my system of those 2 hidden .NET updates?
I installed a program that works with images and then uninstalled it because it doesn't do the thing I needed it to. However, in a Winrar-style fashion, thumbnails of the images it would work with are replaced with the program's icon. This effect has stayed even though I uninstalled it. It's just an annoyance, but is there a way that I can get the image thumbnails back?
So I was going to update my driver, but the installer was giving me an error. So I decided I should uninstall the driver and see if that fixed it. My screen went black. I tried hooking it up to my tv with HDMI because I have a GeForce GT 525M as well, but it did not work.
I am currently on my Linux partition and I have access to my Windows partition. How can I install a driver by pasting files or whatever.

I installed several programs on my computer. I restarted it several times and “Startup repair” showed during the last restart. So when the computer turned on some of the programs were uninstalled! Is this possible? And how can I fix it? I can’t install these programs every time L
Since a week, my Network (LAN) adapter on my HP Compaq 6730b Windows 7 64bit, einstalls itselves.I have no idea why this happens. Have installed the newest driver from hp.com (Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 ) but there's no change.(i've installed it, and a few minutes later it deinstalles itselves again -.-)There's only a message: "The network adapter was successfully removed."Updates from windows 7 are also done everytime there's one.I'm in the internet now with my WLAN-Adapter...but the speed is not that high if you know what i mean
I removed (?) all the bloatware and software I did not wanted to use that came with my Toshiba laptop! Ex: McAfee, Nero, I removed via Control Panel/Uninstall programs! But I know that almost all the time, there are still "bits" of those sw that remain in the computer! My question: how can I remove all those "bits"? For example I saw that somewhere in the Registry (via regedit) there was (still) some McAfee and Nero folders!!! Is it safe to delete those?
I recently installed and uninstalled a program. However, the entry for the program still remains in the Installed Programs list in the Control Panel. I have examined the Registry keys under uninstall and I cannot find this program listed there to be manually deleted. How do I remove this entry?
