Recommended Posts

My Dell laptop updated itself last night, when it went off it was running the normal Vista theme. When i started it this morning it had switched to a modified version of Windows Basic theme.

Gone to the change theme screen but the Vista one is no longer there. Had a look on the dell site see if theres any drivers that i need to install but i'm not particularly sure about it.

Here is how it looks.

So you have right clicked on the desktop and clicked personalise? Then scrolled right to the bottom and made sure its not on windows classic?

Yeah, theres either 'Windows Classic' or 'My Current Theme', which both appear to be the same.

Aahh, it is back.

Instead of

Right click > Personalize > Theme

it was

Right click > Personalize > Color and Appearance

It must have gone from Windows Aero to Windows Basic so i just changed it back.

How random.

Mine did the EXACT same the other day, panicked a treat as its a brand new Windows 7 PC. Literally as I was panic Googling it changed back to Aero.

No idea why it did it at all as I was nowhere near the Personalization page.

Yeah i was fretting like mad since im trying to revise for my final exams and all my stuff is on here. I hate computers lol.

I thought it must have been the update that kicked it off since is was fine before.

Other than that, no idea!
