[SOLVED] problem: set a theme (W Home Premium 64bits)

Laptop: Asus X5DIJ
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
--------------------------------------------
HI:

I have one problem setting my theme.

1- I select my wallpaper and screensaver
2- I save my theme

Ok

But when I restart the laptop, then when I enter in my desktop, is displayed default theme (file: img11 theme: landscape). My theme is not displayed.

I have tried some possibles solutions that I have found in net: edit register, scann for errors, create a new admin account, ....But the problem continues .:shock:

Any idea?

Hi:

Yes I follow these steps.

But when start up, default theme is auto created and set as default.

Attach capture.

(My theme saved is named "mitemabasico")

Try this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
Then try making a new theme.

If that does not work try this Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.50.1 - FileHippo.com
Let it update & run a full scan.

Apply windows 7 aero first, and then apply your themepack . Now restart . Is it works now as it should work ?

 

[yae]

But aero is applied already

 

[Arc]

If Windows 7 aero (the default theme) is applied , still it appears with another wallpaper ? SFC scannow cannot solve it ?


Go to C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows ..... and make it sure that it is the only wallpaper there


Sometimes a few third party theme installers put some extra wallpapers in this folder ..... such a thing might be taking effect .

Yes

No.

wallpapers are correctly in his folders. The problem is when startup, is created this theme (see my screen capture) and is linked to this wallpaper (landscape - img11).


Laptop is new and comes preinstalled. But now I dont remember if this ocurre since 1st day or after having installed some themes downloaded from Microsoft website. :huh:

Hello Yae, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Double check your Startup folder in the Start Menu, and in all registry locations in METHOD FOUR in the tutorial below to see if by chance that the .theme or .themepack file that your downloaded is listed to be ran at startup by mistake somehow.

Hope this may help for now,

I have a restore system DVD to reinstall OS. But if reinstall OS other time, many app and utilities are installed for default. I can not to do a clean installation. Because I do not have the CD of installation of Windows 7, only the CDs to reinstall OS that it cmes with the laptop

Nothing really stands out to me as being the cause in those.

I knew I saw this problem once, but I forgot completely how I solved it. You could try one thing though - open regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpaper(s?), and delete the key that contains image streams (not the one with MRU subkey).

Btw, where is the picture you chose as wallpaper located?

HI

Attach capture. What I need to delete?

Now I have selected Spain Theme, and pictures are located in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Spain\DesktopBackground

Attach capture.

Hi

Now I have seen that I disable power management, themes runs fine

Any idea to solve this?

 

[Brink]

Yae,

I'm guessing that you mean step 11 here when you say that you disabled power management.

I suppose that you could try the tutorial below to hopefully prevent your currently selected theme from being changed.

[yae]

Finally I have solved this problem! and now my themes runs fine.

solution:
I have unistalled Power4 Gear (a power management utility). This app comes preinstalled in my asus laptop.
