have you done anything with your themes lately?

 

[Arc]

Yes, it is from any third party theme.

 

[ash30000]

Yeah it all went funny after I installed a theme. I have also recently created a new user account because I thought that might solve the problem but it is still here
Does anybody know how to sort it out and get it back to normal? thanks

 

[Arc]

First, back to default aero. If it is still there, then there are some modifications in the system files. To revert them back to normal, run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html , and restart your computer to apply the changes.

Let us know the results.

Will do cheers, gonna try it now

If its from 3rd party program you must check the program first if it has restore to default option.

Or try to use other themes from windows seven.


Edit:

or try what Arc has suggested.

Hi

Please make it clear You cannot run Sfc scan, or SFC scan does not fix your issue ?

 

[ash30000]

The scan didnt seem to fix my issue

 

[Arc]

Well, I have asked Bongo to have a look . He must have a better solution of your issue.

 

[Bongo]

Have you tried going back to the default Aero theme?

Post a link to the theme you installed.

Did you change any system files when you installed the theme such as shell32.dll?

Answer these three questions and we'll go from there.

Hi guys sorry for the late reply, our area has been without power.
Jerry I think the shell32.dll might have been changed.
Thanks Ashley

Earlier in this thread you posted that you ran the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html when it was done did you get this that is highlighted in red in the screenshot below "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"


Are you having this trouble on a 32-bit system for a 64-bit system?

Hi Jerry
I will run the scan again tommorow and see what the error is.
I am running a 64 bit system
Thanks Ashley
