    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?
    Just had a thought, it is not permissable to upgrade from XP to Win 7. Did you upgrade or do a clean install? If you did not have to reinstall your programs, you did an upgrade.

    Windows Update? It possibly upgraded the video drivers which reset the WEI score. Re-run the WEI.

    (WIN+Pause/Break and see if it needs to be updated)

    Xp can go to win7, but i went from vista and all updates are installed. Also what about uninstalling McAfee? But yes, i did an upgrade.

    Go into WIndows Update>View Update History>Installed Updates and remove the updates which were delivered when the problem happened. Restart.

    Was there a display driver listed?

    If so and uninstalling the update didn't help, you can then look in Device Manager, click Display Driver>Update tab>Roll back driver.

    Next, troubleshoot Aero to recover Aero theme: Control Panel>Troubleshooting>appearance.

    MacAfee is considered by most tech enthusiasts to be a bloatware infection. Consider lean mean AV solutions like free Avast or MSE.

    So testing to see if changing a theme by downloading one would work, it says "This desktop can't use this theme"
