    Boot screen not changed after anytime upgrade


    Apologies for starting another thread on a similar topic (ie my reinstallation of Windows 7). The other topic is on issues with Windows updates.

    After reinstalling Windows 7 Starter I have now reinstalled the Anytime Upgrade to Home Premium, which has activated. However when I start the machine up I still get the Windows 7 Starter screen/wallpaper and the same on the log-in page - it is also the Windows 7 Starter wallpaper. Once I am onto the desktop I assume it is the home premium wallpaper but as they both look the same for Starter and Home Premium, it's hard to tell.

    I don't remember this happening before when I first did the Anytime upgrade. Just wondered if there is a fix or if it has installed properly.

    Marked as solved - I just changed the theme to aero.

    All windows 7 wallpaper should look the same, who cares about wallpaper as long as the upgrade was sucessful, hard to imagine anytime upgrade even worked, it`s been dead for a long time now.

    Maybe it didn't! I purchased it a couple of years ago and had to download it again after a factory re-install. Could be why I've had some issues.

Boot Screen Changed?
in General Discussion

Forgive my lack of terminology. During boot up I was getting a new "Windows 7" screen, one with 3 colored balls moving toward you and then exploding. I don't get that screen anymore. I'm getting the "old" Vista running lights screen. Am I imagining this or did they change this in RC1?
