No Color Scheme in Control Panel

[Xeal Clianad]

I can't find the Color Scheme button in the Control Panel.

I also tried to go search it but I can't also find it.

Here is what I mean...
There's supposed to be a Color Scheme button, but it's not there.

This is all I get:

 

[DavidE]

Right click on the Desktop and click Personalize.
See if that opens the window you are looking for.

 

[Gary]

Are you using any third party themes?

Hi Xeal Clianad and welcome to Seven Forums
I think you will find Home Basic does not allow you to change the colour schemes of the Windows. That is one of the limitations of Home Basic.
You can change the wallpaper. Change your desktop background You can pick different built in options by searching in the start menu for Change the color scheme but you cannot change them to different colours or themes.

You can try to type in dccw.exe in your search box and see if that takes you anywhere?

Hey Gary, that brings up the calibration in home basic. He is using Home Basic not generally available in the Western Markets. There is no theme support and the Personalization does not exist. I have a Home Basic Virtual machine. It is crippled compared to Premium.

I got Home Basic. In other words, I don't have that personalize button.

I looked at your first image attachment. That is what I meant, and when I tried to find it, it wasn't there.

Type exactly what I typed in the first attachment and it will come up. It is hidden and that is the only way to get it to come up in home basic.

Good news, and bad news:

Good news: I did what you did and I saw it on the Start Menu.

Bad news: Nothing's happening.

 

[Indianatone]

When you see it on the start menu you then have to click on the text to get the window to open.

 

[Element7]

Yea Home Basic doesn't have that. My moms laptop has Home Basic.

I meant that when I type it, there was a result, but when I click it nothing happened.

Yeah.

P.S.: My laptop got a nasty malware once. It made my laptop go crazy. I don't know if this is helping but... anyway.

OK well it seems to work in my Home Basic virtual machine. It is fully updated with SP1. Is there anything else that does not work on your laptop? Maybe you need to run a malware scan.

Hi Xeal, I would allow those detections to be removed. Adware.Hotbar.RB is some type of malware and may be difficult to remove.
