Theme glitch: half aero, half classic
Hello, entire 7F community,
I put this problem here because it relates not just to theme files, but is also about system files and/or advanced solutions. I know that this question (or at least its other variant) has been asked before, but I didn't manage to find the solution.
The problem is:
After failed boot with incompatible firewire card (tried WinXP drivers as legacy hardware driver, etc) I removed it and just to make sure that the PC would boot I've copied whole system32 from Win7 installation disk (X:\Windows) directly to original windir (C:\windows) using "xcopy /E /H /R /Y" thus attempting to fix somehow incorrect and not included in C:\windows IEEE 1394 driver in the process. The PC booted. But now I noticed that the taskbar was in classic style with aero top edge (see here) and any explorer window looks like this (notice the edges of the window and compare it to organize/system properties/etc bar).
Steps I have taken since then (in order):
- Ran chkdsk /f /r
- Ran sfc /scannow
- Done an in-place upgrade
- Set visuals to maximum quality (best appearance)
- Reinstalled GPU drivers
- Restarted themes and uxsms many times (aero/basic themes become grey until reboot)
- Ran Fixit troubleshooters
None of those helped.
I didn't set up system backup/recovery, so this option won't help me a bit.
