Different "Starting Windows" on 7 Ultimate 32 bit

[xtreme15]

I've recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit). Now the problem is the "Starting Windows" didn't change, it is still from the 7 starter (the vista like), it didn't change into a something spherical. Is it really like that if you installed windows 7 ultimate from starter?

How about you upload a snip? If you did an in place upgrade with the new key (for ultimate) it should unlock all the ultimate features.

Perhaps you video card doesnt support aero

Using a netbook? The low resolution "1024x600" is the cause of it.

"In Vista, the boot loader is using a low resolution 640x480 screen, and file size required for the green animated progress bar is very small. Furthermore, the Vista boot screen had low color depth – 16 bits per pixel (bpp). We increased this in Win7 to 32 bpp, which enabled the color richness you see in the new boot animation. Updates to the Vista boot progress indicator were achieved via the CPU, which was susceptible to I/O time, therefore causing occasional glitches in the animation. With the low resolution screen, limited color depth, and susceptibility to glitches – we knew we had our work cut out for us if we wanted to build something fancier for Win7.

We started with the Win7 boot loader using a different mechanism to display the boot animation. It gets a pointer to the frame buffer from the firmware (either BIOS or UEFI firmware), and displays a higher resolution image (1024 x 768). It animates the image while the kernel and boot critical device drivers are loaded into memory. Since the native graphics driver for the display is not loaded into memory and initialized yet, the animation is run by using the CPU, and by updating the frame buffer for the graphics display. We made an additional optimization - to have the CPU use write-combined caching to accelerate performance."

I see...

Thank you for the reply.
