Hi Toffix,

Post your system specs, you might not even be able to have aero enabled.

You need to have Aero enabled to use them, which you don't have from your screenshot. Update your graphics card drivers if you haven't already, Run the WEI, and see if these are checked here.

My PC:
CPU-DualCore Intel Pentium D
Motherboard-Asus P5VDC-X
RAM-2048 MB
VGA-NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 512 MB 128BIT DDR3
HDD-SAMSUNG SP2504C 250GB
OS-Windows 7 RC

Yeah, you can have Aero enabled. Try the suggestions I posted earlier, see if it will help.

 

[Toffix]

I tried, I again cant use Aero skin.

Oh, I see. You're using the Windows Classic theme there, you won't have Aero with those ''Basic and High Contrast Themes''. All the themes in this screenshot below the line won't use Aero, the ones above where it says ''Aero'', will.

A week I was using Aero themes, but something happened and now I only can use Classic themes.

Hmm, Did you try to install any third party themes or do any modifications to any system files at that time? A long shot but check to make sure you're not running 16 bit colors instead of 32 bit, as it should be on 32 bit.





Run SFC/Scannow with an elevated cmd prompt to see if it might pick up and repair any system file corruption/damage.

I'm using 32BIT colors. I tried with Elevated Command Prompt,did"t helped.

You could try a Repair Install.

You could try a Repair Install.

Oh no.:shock:

LOL, it's not as bad as it sounds.

Something's probably being overlooked, but I can't think of it other than the suggestions I've already said.

Don't worry Toffix, a Repair Install will not cause you any issues (it doesn't format).

Have you run a WEI check? If Windows somehow reports an Aero score of less than 2.0 it will 'force' Windows Basic themes.

I already suggested that in my first post, if you haven't done it, that's one of the first things you need to do.

Doh! Sorry, my eye sight is failing me

 

[Toffix]

I tried WEI, did'nt helped.

Just try the Repair install. It doesn't take very long to do.

He could also completey remove the graphics card rvier from his computer...restart...and reinstall the driver (the driver might be conficitng in some way...)

 

[Toffix]

Repair install helped.

That's good. It works now is what you're saying then?
