Animated Network Icons

Apr 14, 2009

Just how many people out there miss the animated network icons on the taskbar present in older Windows systems upto and including Vista?

I mean the icons are very nice and all but surely it wouldn't have took much to add some animation. It is kind of nice to see that you have activity going on without opening a browser to convince you. Also it was easy to see if there was activity going on that shouldn't be. There has been many a time I have used it as a first step to discovering dodgy background tasks.

Animated Icons For The Network Connection

Nov 5, 2009

Does anyone know if there are any animated icons for the connection like we had in Vista and the older systems? At the moment I'm talking about the wired connections not the wireless. I did see a little bar graph for it.

Network & Sharing Center - How To Add Network Icons

Nov 17, 2010

I want to add additional icons to the 'system32pnidui.dll' file. That's where you pick which icon you want to represent the active named network in the Network And Sharing Center. I did a search in this forum on 'network icons' but didn't find anything. Aside from all the permissions restrictions what app can be used and what kind(s) of files will work in W7? I have lots of .png images that I would like to use if they will work. Lenovo T500 W7 Pro-64 Current Updates.

Network And Sound Icons Missing

Apr 27, 2009

I've had a weird error with Windows 7. It happened after I tried to remove the watermark and edit user32 (or something like that). I do have the battery icon, but it's missing the battery info. I believe it's a explorer related error, because each time this happens and I go to right click the desktop explorer.exe stops responding.

Does anybody have any information on this, or how I could repair my system to a state before? System restore is disabled on this machine.

No Animated Boot Screen?

Aug 21, 2010

I just installed windows 7 pro (clean install from Microsoft's student upgrade program) but it boots with the old vista boot screen! I want the windows 7 boot screen! All the other posts I found on this usually had to do with BCDedit which I have tried but they didn't work. I already checked msconfig and "no GUI boot" is not checked.

I can't seem to figure out how to set an animated gif as my desktop wallpaper in windows 7 so that it will work properly. Normally it just treats it as a still image, though it used to work on windows XP. Any programs out there that will make it work or any way to change this without the use of programs?

Lost Animated Boot Screen

Feb 4, 2009

After I installed Windows 7 64 to dual boot with Win732, and fixed the boot menu to show both options (thanks to those of you that helped with that), I somehow lost the animated boot screen splash. I now have the "Vista" green bar.

Is there a setting somewhere that controls this?

I recently noticed my network and battery icons have disappeared off my taskbar. When I tried to put them back, the check boxes in customize notification area were greyed out.

Windows Animated Logo Not Appearing On Boot Up

Mar 25, 2011

have done a few internet searches on this one, but the things to try that i have come across have not worked in reinstating the nice animated windows logo on start up of windows 7. I appear to have lost it after doing a windows system restore and am now left with the very dull green progress bar which is low res and boring!!

As i say i have tried the bcdedit and bcdboot commands that are listed on many sites as resolving this issue.

Outlook 2010 Advanced Find Icon Not Animated

Sep 29, 2010

This barely rises to the level of minor annoyance,When I use Advanced Find in Outlook 2010, the magnifying glass icon is not animated (as it was with Outlook 2003). Is there a way to change the behavior to be like Outlook 2003? Without the animation, one cannot tell if the system is doing something or not.

Stuck During Boot - Animated Windows Logo Not Appearing

Dec 13, 2012

Last night, my computer spontaneously rebooted. When it got to the 'Starting Windows' screen, the animated windows logo never appeared. I rebooted. Tried running System Recovery. This time, the screen is "Windows is loading files..." The progress bar fills up and then freezes.

Tried booting into safe mode. Again, the "Windows is loading files" progress bar fills up and then freezes. Tried to reinstall Windows. Boots from DVD, then the "Windows is loading files" progress bar fills up and then freezes yet again. Have been running Memtest86+ for the last ~9 hours, no issues.

Specs: MSI 790FX-GD70 | AMD Phenom II X4 945 | 4x2GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3-1333 | 1x80GB Intel SSD (OS) | 2x1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200RPM HDD (other) | 1x2TB WD Elements external HDD (backup) | XFX RadeonHD 6870 1GB GDDR5

Getting Windows 7 Animated Boot Screen To Work On Home Theater PC?

Dec 30, 2010

I'm trying to get the animated boot screen to work on my home theatre PC, after scouring what feels like the whole of the internet, I can't find a solution to get it to work, and I'm stuck with the Vista scroll bar. I am using an Asus M4A785D-M Motherboard, however I have disabled the onboard graphics and am using an external card (Radeon 4350). This is plugged into my home theatre receiver which in turn is plugged in to my Sony LCD TV (1080p).

I have tried the following commands:
bcdedit /set {current} locale en-UK and bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US

In the command prompt. I have also tried a repair installation over the original which has not worked. I've also fiddle with a number of different BIOS settings without any luck. The resolution on the screen seems to be downgraded when the animated boot screen appears (i.e. it was 720p and then goes down to 480p), which seems odd.
