Windows 7 lost all styling after BSOD & Start up repair

Hi people,

I did something silly and wonder if anyone out there can help me reverse my silliness please?

I have a partitioned HD - one side runs with XP and the other with Win 7. This was set up on my 4 year old laptop a few months ago by a high street retailer/engineer following the burn-out of my old HD. The machine is an HP pavilion laptop dv6000 series with 2G Ram. Everything was working really well before this happened so I know that the machine and graphics are up to running aero. The graphics card is NVidia GeoForce Go 7400.

Today, when closing down from XP, There was a short power outage. Next time I booted up in Win 7 I got a BSOD. Panicking somewhat and forgetting at that moment all about the power outage earlier, I ran the start up repair tool.

Of course Win 7 opened, but not with the usual background behind my users photos. When it fully opened, the slideshow theme I set up was still running OK but all of the display settings had reverted to what I would call a very basic classic mode. Gone were the nice aero touches. In fact, gone is any styling. The machine now resembles Windows 98. Also my browser and e-mail client have lost their styling somewhat and now look very basic. Here is a shot of how the taskbar looks:



Whatever I have tried has not re-enabled them. In troubleshooting it says 2 things, 1. that the chosen theme does not support Aero. This is daft because I chose and Aero theme. And, 2. That the desktop Window manager is disabled. When I check, it is actually enabled.

I have tried everything I can think of doing. I have run file diagnostics of all sorts. In fact I can't remember all of the ways i have tried to rectify the problem!

I have done a windows update - no change

I have updated the graphics card driver - no change

I tried system restore and, although I created a restore point 3 weeks ago after ridding my machine of some malware. Windows says that it can find no restore point to restore to.

The XP was pre-installed on the machine and the Win7 was installed by the shop with an OEM key.

If Anyone can help I would be sooo, grateful!

Uninstall the Nvidia driver then use driver sweeper to remove leftover nvidia files
Guru3D - Driver Sweeper
Then reinstall the drivers

Sorry. I am confused. If I uninstall these drivers, will my screen not be completely blank? How will I reinstall them?

No, after uninstalling the driver boot into safe mode and reinstall them


BSOD was caused by Mvc25U870.sys part of Micro Vision software, uninstall it
