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.
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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter 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 have a folder with a ton of animated gifs and the folder view setting is 'Large Icons'. When I open this folder I desire the icons to display with the animations cycling. Is this possible with some setting or a 3rd party app?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am recently noticed that when I try to make a animated .gif image my background the image freezes in the first frame. I know this is cause windows 7 doesn't support it so lets just skip the useless take me no closer to solving my problem replys of that. I've been searching around and get we can make them work by downloading a "program" to create or convert them but I really dont feel like downloading another file I'll only ever use once just so it can clutter my computer. How to enable it via registry's.

When I boot my desktop I do not get the animated Windows Logo as the first screen and instead get a rolling bar like I did in XP.
get animated Windows Logo as the first screen while booting?
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.
I downloaded Animated Desktop Wallpaper Snow but now I want it to stop and off my computer! When I remove it from my computer it's still keeps on snowing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedLast 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.

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.
i have a desktop computer i used it to install Windows 7 ultimate x86 and i have a laptop i used it to install Windows 7 ultimate x64 the desktop and laptop both support x64 systems, i cloned both computers with Norton ghost and when i restore the cloned image to it's own computer it works with no problem but when i try to restore the image from my laptop to my desktop computer or the image from my desktop to my laptop windows boot but freeze at the animated windows 7 logo screen? i tried to generalize the system with sysprep but i failed cause my computer want start after i used sysprep?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently did a system restore on my laptop... HP 625. Windows 7.Then I logged in as normal and I've somehow lost the Personalise option on the desktop drop down menu.I can't even go into pictures and set a background.Also, the Windows 7 theme has completely disappeared and it's changed to a windows classic theme? I had to do the system restore because it wouldn't log in, even though the password was correct.It interrupts with the internet speed and looks plain freaking ugly.

I've tried lowering ALL of the microphone "Levels" in recording settings to 0 and plugged my mic into different USB ports and I'm still getting noises, which doesnt make any sense to me.
I'm using Windows Home Premium, the Logitech New Clearchat Comfort headset/mic and the soundcard is listed as USB Audio Device (associated with the headset I'm assuming..)
I tried everything I can think of to change the desk top back ground but it just stays the same- Windows 7- picture. So not sure what to do now or if it is a fix from microsoft that has to be done? I did follow all the right instructions to do the change but with no change. The Theme will change when I click on it but not the back ground. Read tutials and treads and made sure I was doing it right and all settings were right but still no good!! It really isn't that big of a deal but if it's suppose to work why not on my brand new computer and operating system?

I've been using it because I like BurnAware free, but the three programs do not coexsiste perfectly.Is there a simple program that burns, creates, and mounts .isos (and can erase RW disks) with minimal features?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a resent problem that is happening to my laptop. For the past few weeks every time I change my background picture it goes back to the one i changed it from after I restart my computer. I have had the computer almost a year now and have been able to change the background when ever I have wanted to until a few weeks ago.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've just had to do a factory restore on my laptop to clean it up and now I've reloaded everything I can't seem to change the desktop background. Well, I can set a different picture, but I can't change the settings for stretch, centre etc. I can access them and try but when I click on save nothing happens.
