    Stuck on Classic lost Win 7 Aero


    Many good suggestion in previous post...But, before doing anything make sure that your Themes Services didn't turn off accidentally or because of an newly added program.
    Process:
    Press Ctrl Alt & Delete at the same time to activate Start Task Mgr or run from the start button.
    Then when the drop down appears, double click on Services Button at the bottom right.
    It will open the Services Screen.
    Locate: Themes high light the line (if disabled)
    double click the line and it will open another drop down window.
    In the center button or block you can choose the "start up" type of service: i.e. Automatic, etc.
    On the left hand panel I would suggest that you stop the service and then restart the service.
    It should now be reset to go.
    Now right click mouse on open area of desktop and select personalize.
    If all the colors and selections appear which should include Aero, you can reselect your new themes.
    Good Luck.

    Hello emptyspace, and welcome to Seven Forums.


    In addition, here are some more items to double check:
    • Windows needs to be activated.
    • You must be have True Color (32 bit) set instead of High Color (16 bit).
    • The Desktop Window Manager Session Manager and Themes Services need to be set to Start and Automatic.
    • The desktop composition and Animate controls and elements inside windows options enabled in Visual Effects.
    Hope this helps, :)

    Thanks so much for this! This fixed my problem after a day of literally trying everything to fix this stupid issue. For all those with multiple monitors, remember to check the color setting for EACH of your screens, I have 4 monitors and only one was set to 16-bit which bricked my aero.
