Windows 7: The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic

hello all
i know this post is old enough lol
but just want to know if this problem solved?
i use BSplayer (The media player, movie player, YouTube player, video player, AVCHD player, divx player, free player - BS.Player.com) and the color scheme change every now and then

I have the solution for this problem
just simply go to the monitor setting as attached snapshot and tick off hide modes that's all

hey myself sunny ,
I have a win 7 ultimate .
but when I tried to run gta sa it shows win 7 basic theme with the same msg.
but when i tried same thing on another same pc it works fine, all the specifications are same and the same graphics memory. but still i am not able to understand the reason . can any one plese help me

if u play some video then the win 7 basic theme changes,then this may apply to u also
what i did was check the video rendering mode on the video player.
some mode allow Windows Aero. some just dont. try using EVR (Enhanced Video Renderer) mode.

hope that helps.

I pretty much have the same problem. I understand the older games might cause the problem but they also won't return me back after I finish with the programs that do this unless I reboot. Is there a way to get back the aero experience other than rebooting? If there is I can't find it.

I know this is a really old thread but i have this problem too. I figured out how to fix it though. Go into your graphics properties and it should have put your colour quality onto 16 bit, change it back to 32bit or watever it was before and that should fix it

With some video programs like quicktime alternative, you need to go into settings and look for direct show rendering. on quicktime "overlay mixer" will cause windows to change from aero to basic. changing the setting to "vmr9 renderless" will stop this from happeneing. directshow will cause the switch so look for those setings if your video player causes problems.
