I had this theme working once. Somewhere along the line, Windows decided to activate aero again. I finally turned it off, but now it is using a default theme even though it says I am using the custom theme. Help/Troubleshooting is useless since it only helps you turn aero on.I tried downloading and installing a theme pack. It didnt work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor the past few days, if not a week now, I've noticed that when I switch to Basic theme for RAM intesive programs like Adobe After Effects, Windows is quite slow, almost running as though my laptop is 1GB not 2GB RAM.Though when I switch to Aero theme, Windows is only slightly slower with Adobe After Effects running. My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ56, 2GB shared graphics and I can't explain why the Basic theme is running slow whereas Aero is responding faster, so much so, programs tend to stop responding more frequently on Basic. I have run MSE, MBAM and SAS (MSE realtime, others are standalone mode) and found no viruses and I update them all either daily or every two days. I only have Realtek Audio and MSE on Startup so I can't figure out why this happening!

Can I buy an Upgrade Windows 7 and do an in-place upgrade of my Windows 7 system, or do I have do buy a new copy (full) and do a clean install over a freshly reformatted partition?
i just downloaded windows 7 rc2 from windows site, but cannot install it, because ive got error message: your product key cannot be activated.
my key: Q3VMJ-TMJ3M-99RF9-CVPJ3-Q7VF3
I recently tried to created a word document but as soon as I opened the window i got an error saying that microsoft office was not activated and that certain features were disabled. The activation window contained two options: activate over the phone or activated over the internet. Both options return with the same error saying my copy is not valid.I called Microsoft Support and they redirected me to omnitech support. the tech told me that I had downloaded malware and that he would be happy to fix my problem for 79.99. He would not actually tell me what was wrong.I know that my copy is genuine because i bought this computer from a friend and i saw him install windows 7 home premium.

I have read I can't use Windows 7 Home Prem Upgrade to UPGRADE my RC7100 and that I have to have RC7600 but I thought was a RTM build?
I am confused. Do I buy an UPGRADE or a RETAIL???
I'd really like one simple answer PLEASE to one simple question...CAN I BUY and use an UPGRADE H/Prem Windows 7 to do an inplace UPGRADE of a legally downloaded and activated RC7100? I take it if YES, I have to put in the ISO disc I originally burned as "proof" of originally installed OS?
Mods - I don't think this post is in violation of Posting General Rule #7, but I could be wrong. If so, correct me, teach me the error of my ways, but don't ban me. I kinda like it here.
Some background:
My wife bought an Asus laptop in either Aug or Sep '09. It came installed with 32-bit Vista and came with a free upgrade to Windows 7 - so that kinda gives a time frame. Of course, we wiped Vista from the machine and clean installed one of the later 64-bit Windows 7 builds and the wife was very happy (always a good thing) with the machine.
When Windows 7 was released, we did the paperwork (on-line) to get the upgrade disk from Asus. We finally received the package yesterday. It contained only the 32-bit version of Windows 7 (with a product key) and another disk of drivers for both 32-bit and 64-bit installations (good on them for that).
After reading on SevenForums that an upgrade product key would work on both 32-bit and 64-bit (but those accounts have all be related/using the disk set released and sold by MSFT), I was hoping this "rule" would hold for the product key we got with the Asus disk because the lappy has 4GB installed and I would like for the DW to be able to use all that. So, I grab a MSFT 64-bit Windows 7 upgrade disk and start the clean install figuring that if it doesn't activate all I've lost is a little time. Then install the drivers from the Asus driver disk (there were 5 components in the Device Manager wanting drivers). So far all is well. OK, time to see if it will activate. I had my son read off the product key groups while I keyed them in (my eyes aren't what they used to be) and pulled the trigger. Activation Failed! Hoping that I had miss-keyed, we did a quick review - yup, one character got keyed as a "W" when it should have been a "Y". Made the correction in the product key and ...... Success!!!
Just thought this might help someone else in the same situation - someone who received a 32-bit version but has access to a 64-bit disk.
I wish some of you guys can help me here.Used genuine key to activate previously hacked Windows 7.System goes through authentication, "Genuine" logo. Everything fine until I reboot the system. The Product ID changes back to 00426-292-0000007-85528, and the system ask to be activated "today". I change the key again and everything is fine until next reboot.I've tried various methods including system restore, over the phone activation, etc. Same result. Just don't want to do the clean install again, too much stuff to re-install

Last night after some modem problems which may be coincidental Windows 7 PRO (OEM) suddenly de-activated. It now will not re-activate either by the normal method or by telephone. No hardware has been changed and to my knowledge no new software was installed although some of course may have been updated. I was simply attempting to browse the web. It came with a new build and has been fine since November 2011. Checking the error logs I find these related messages. Code: Genuine state set to non-genuine (0x00000000) for application Id 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f Code: Acquisition of genuine ticket failed, hr=0xC004C4A2) for template Id 66c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f I ran the MGADiag tool and it produced this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI purchased the full version of Windows 7 Home premium for my new build in March.I bought the full version rather then the OEM so I wouldn't have to answer to Big Brother Bill if I ever wanted to upgrade my computer.Since I live in a remote area with internet access limited to ~ 1kB/sec dial up, I activated Windows by phone, then used WSUS Offline Update to install the updates that I downloaded at work.
Yesterday I got the message that my copy of Windows is not genuine.I've spent hours on the phone with MS tech support to no success.When I attempt to activate either by phone or online the required alphanumeric code is missing in the activation dialog.Is there no option left other than reformating the HD and starting all over?
I have lost my activation key for windows 7 (fresh install) My question is rather then buying another copy of windows 7 could I just buy a windows 8 upgrade package instead?

I went to the properties to check if it was true that my windows wasnt genuine just to find out the validation was there and wasnīt asking again for the serial.
I searched for a while diffrent fixes or st least what caused this. I canīt make windows update, canīt use backgrounds and when i try to open Window Activation Update just deosnīt let me.

However, every now and then when i boot into windows the slow motion aero effect keeps being activated automatically, but when i restart, aero goes back to normal.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOK, I've read all about Windows 7 sleep mode and (think) I understand everything I've read. What I have not seen in my research and do not understand is why my PC enters sleep mode when it is not idle!
For example, I start a disk backup to an external drive, close the lid on my laptop (yes, I have set the sleep setting "do nothing" when the lid is closed), and then leave the computer to "do it's thing". The backup normally takes at least 15 minutes to run. However, my Windows 7 enters sleep mode within minutes while the backup job is running. Why?
This same problem occurs no matter what program I'm running - backup, video conversion, defrag, etc etc. It seems that if I'm not using the mouse or keyboard, sleep mode is activated no matter what is currently running on my PC.
Yes, I want to utilize the Windows 7 sleep mode feature. No, I don't want sleep mode activated while my computer is busy running a job!
I bought a ASUS that had a failed c-mos from the factory. only 2 months after i bought it. Before that happen i ordered the asus OEM Windows 7 upgrade disk then my computer crashes now today the disk came. Can i use this asus oem upgrade disk to upgrade my dell vista to Windows 7? Will it change my needed drivers for my dell and install asus drivers.
Or is this simply just an upgrade disk similar to the one you buy retail expect for the key restrictions and will work to upgrade my other computer? both are x64 my dell vista and the asus Windows 7 upgrade.
