    Help With Compatibility Settings


    Hi all,
    Turning to these forums in desperation. I was having trouble running a program so I tried running it in compatibility settings (Windows Vista) which was recommended. The program still wouldn't run so I uninstalled it but now I am stuck in what looks like Windows Vista. I have the Vista log in screen, the Vista background, my screen/desktop settings are all stretched, and I feel like I'm still in this compatibility mode even though that program is no longer installed. Can someone help me check/restore defaults?

    Hello Chernzobog, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    What was the program?

    Are you using an Aero theme?
    For now, you should be able to do a system restore using a restore point dated before this to hopefully undo and fix this.

    Hope this helps for now, :)
