Looks like XP?

So I just got some Windows updates yesterday or the other day, and after my computer restarted, everything looks like XP. How do I change this? I right clicked on desktop, went to personalize, and i cant click any of the aero themes or basic. Any help?

Hi Jad206, Welcome to SF,

You could try to do a System Restore it should take back to your previous settings for the Windows Update

Hope this helps

Thank you, and I did do a restore, but maybe i didn't go back far enough so i guess I will try again.

Give that a shot if that didn't fix please post a Screen-shot of you screen.
You could follow this Microsoft KB Troubleshoot Aero problems in Windows 7

Hope this helps

You Most Welcome .. Please post back the result

Assuming that the updates, did in fact, cause the change in your desktop, you must prepare for what will probably happen in the future. If system restore (you could also use a system image, if necessary) is instrumental in restoring your desktop the problem updates would be removed from the system. Shortly, after the return to normalacy, the updates will be reinstalled and you may lose your desktop, again. If it were me, I would change the setting on updates from automatic to manual installation. I would then make a system restore point and a system image. When you receive the updates, install them one at a time. Wait a while before installing the subsequent update, so your computer has time to change the desktop, if it is so inclined. If you install all the updates without incident, great the problem is resolved. If one of the updates changes your desktop again, use the new system restore image, install all of the updates, except the problem one, and leave update setting on manual, until a more permanent solution can be found.
Wishing you the happiest and healthiest of New Years.

Could it be a posibility that it is in fact Xp?

Ah .. McAfee not again .. Try to create a new Windows Profile see whether it work under that profile. If not we could could try to remove McAfee and install Microsoft Security Essentials

Hope this helps
