You can extract and run the files from Win7 to Repair Install. Just follow the steps in link above.
You need to either make a Repair CD in the Backup Center to boot in case of future emergency repairs,
or burn a Win7 install DVD from the downloaded ISO, or create an ISO to burn if you downloaded files: Bootable ISO - Create from Installation Files
Where is Classic Theme in Win7? Been looking for the Theme Menu and it looks like it's gone.

Had I been in place of yours, I would have tried another update . Download and update to windows 7 ultimate. it may reactivate aero.
Moreover, try to have a windows 7 dvd, or at least repair disc. It is difficult to overcome all the problems without it.
Have you gotten the Windows Classic Theme like this:
Enable an Aero theme up above them.
Good job, Unifex. Those Classic Themes were hidden in scroll down on the Personalize page

I likewise had this problem (right click not working to change properties and the screen looking like XP instead of 7). To solve it, I went to the "Windows Update" program on my computer. It gives instruction on how to uninstall an update. I located and uninstalled the last Windows update. I restarted, and everything returned to normal.
My guess is that the the update may have been corrupted when downloaded. I remember seeing the update message when I shut down on Friday, and then Tuesday (after the 3 day holiday weekend) I had the problem.
So, hopefully this is the end of it.
