Stop Windows 7 From Changing Screensaver When Change Theme?
Apr 5, 2012
Each time I decide to change the theme on my Dell Inspiron laptop Windows 7 automatically turns sounds back on and changes the screen saver. It's so annoying and unnecessary.How can I prevent it from doing this when all I want to do is vary the themes? Or do I have to go through the same routine each time - that of switching off the sounds and restoring my screensaver?
I'm having a problem with my screensaver and I don't know why I can't get it to load. I had it working just fine until I accidentally changed the theme of the desktop. I changed it and it went to some high contrast theme but I changed it back soon after. I noticed when I went back to my original theme, the screensaver was set to none. I left it alone and it never went to screensaver like it was suppose to.
I tried changing the settings to see if that would work but it refuses to move from none. The window will let me set the screensaver but the overall theme still says none on theme. No matter which theme I set it to now. The registry still has screensaver enabled, all permissions are properly set and double checked, there are no wireless mouses or keyboards that are hooked up to my computer. Its windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
how can i change my windows 7 blue theme to the previous black and grey theme which it had when i purchased my laptop... and cab i apply any other theme on windows 7 basic?
windows 7 home.all gone wrong, screen has gone all squre & grey like xp, i cannot get a screensaver on screen or a theme.laptop wont recognise cd/dvd drive.
my little brother changed my windows 7 to a classic theme ? i need the normal theme of the windows, when i go to the personlize to change the theme it is unhighlighted,how can i do that by run ?
This tutorial will show you how to change your Windows 7 theme such as the the desktop background, colors, and sounds on your computer all at once. You will also see how to save your custom theme.
can no longer change my windows 7 theme. It's in aero mode, but when i right click, and open personalization, it's in classic view mode. I try clicking "Window Color and Appearance" except it only gives me an error "there was a problem loading pre-set color." Also when i click "them" nothing happens, no sign of loading. I'm fine with the default windows 7 aero theme, except i'd love to install windowblinds 7 again (this will be my first time installing windowblinds 7 on this new installation of windows 7, so it's not a pre-installation of windowblinds 7 that causes my personalization options to go away.ps: i think this problem began when i installed deskscapes and dreamscene (2 programs that allow your background to be a video) I have uninstalled both of them.
I like to keep my BIOS time set to UTC, which works perfectly with Linux, but whenever I log into Windows, the displayed time is UTC even though I have set the timezone. When I change the time manually or with synchronization, it changes BIOS time itself instead of simply using it as a base for localtime.
For 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!
My computer was fine last night then this morning I turn it on and the theme setting is locked in the classic view and all my aero settings are greyed out and I can't change anything. I have Windows 7 Home Premium I have Kaspersky internet security anti virus and I don't download illegal music I only download iTunes and better have not gotten a virus from something I paid for. I first checked my security and I'm up todate on it and doesn't show anything. It is an HP with the finger print scanner with ATI Mobility Radeon Premium Graphics and says it supports Microsoft DirectX11.
Every time I boot up, the screen settings have changed to a "two monitors" setting. At this setting, the mouse pointer will run off the screen to the right.I have to go to "Screen Resolution" and click "Detect", it finds only one monitor, click OK, and it works fine 'til next boot up.
There was a popup as I was playing BF3 and it said that due to the power I was taking Windows would automatically change the color to save power or something stupid. Now it is permanently the settings from when it occurred and didn't revert like normal. It looks like this now: The background changes though, and all the Aero effects work but the only thing that doesn't change is the color of the taskbar and Windows border
I was surfing net and listening to music , then the aero theme switches to basic theme out of nowhere. I tried to go to personalize and set it back , but could not.
I changed the skin, and now i use MAC OS X. Everything is perfect, but i can't change the fonts from right click on desktop...I want them just a bit bigger.I tried with WBS but i have a problem after i restart. I cannot logon again.
On a Win XP machine you could delete the registry keys under HKLMEnum as the last step before removing the MB and when the new MB was installed the Plug & Play would install the your hardware drivers and properly configure the new MB.Is there a similar process that will work with Win 7? There is no HKLMEnum key in Win 7 registry. There is a HKLMSystemControl Set 001Enum.
So in the last month i noticed some of my folders i keep on the desktop change form the newer slicker icon of a folder back to the typical windows yellow folder. Then more and more until all of my folders where like that.Then all of sudden some sounds started to go from a normal contemporary notification sound to a dull sound from XP or older.Then about a week ago the "bar" if you will changed from a typical Win7 style back to a XP one where its dull. And its like that everywhere.
I have tried icon programs at first to fix the folder issue and unless i wanna do it one buy one its sucks and i just want them back to a normal win7 folder nothing fancy.I have tried changing themes via the ones pre installed and it might change my desktop wallpaper it never changes the "bars"Also tried other non microsoft theme programs with the same results.
ALSO i scanned my pc with Malwarebyes, CCleaner, WinASO, AVG and cleaned all up and so on rebooted all the same.Thought i may have installed too many apps or at least big apps (photo/video editing) and i uninstalled a few with no difference.So then i decided to check out my ram. So i make a bootable disc of a memory scanner. Ended up getting into the millions of errors with the ram i had and i stopped it before it was done with the intentions on getting ram and not waiting until scan was done to tell me i had 500 trillion errors lol. Bought new ram installed it started her up and BAM .... same thing.I have not scanned this ram as my wife uses it while im at work and when im home i do alota 2nd job stuff on it so i dont like having it offline long.
Behaviour of a dropdown changes in case we are changing the screen resolution. In case we are having lot of items, place of launch of dropdown list is getting changes as soon as we are changing the resolution.
This all started whenever I wanted to change my text size different by changing my DPI settings. What I did was right click, go to screen resolution, and clicked on "Make text and other items larger or smaller". From this I changed it to 100% from 125%. I noticed it had changed my font size to the 100%. It then made everything SUPER small when I changed my theme settings.Whenever I right click and go into personalization settings, I do the usual customizing to my likings. Since I want to save the theme, I do so by naming it, blah. Now I want to use the blah theme by click on it, and I do so. Everything is fine and dandy until I right click my desktop to refresh(out of habit). This is the before and after of the font sizes.
Before After
My workaround was to set a custom DPI setting, log off like it prompts me to, then changing it back to 100%, again prompting to do so. It is so annoying to do so.
I just turned on my pc today and the windows 7 basic areo theme came up insted of the top quality theme and when i opened ie9 i noiced the greyt theme was comming up on the windows, then another 30 seconds later the bottom bar when all grey, i went o controll panel and it has greyed out the areo theme (blanked it out so i can click on it) , i have been on some other sites and they are telling me to trouble shoot it witch i have, but windows can't find any problems at all.
