Taxi Adam Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 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.Can anyone help?Thanks, Adam.

Brammo Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) 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? Edited April 28, 2011 by Brammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxi Adam Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 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.

Taxi Adam Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Aahh, it is back.Instead of Right click > Personalize > Themeit wasRight click > Personalize > Color and AppearanceIt must have gone from Windows Aero to Windows Basic so i just changed it back.How random.

DarkStryder360 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 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.
