Fault in Windows Vista update? Halp
« on: February 28, 2011, 05:31:01 PM »

So i turned my PC on today and I got the screen "Finishing update's %##". It took about 2 minutes and it was done... But now i have the Windows Classic theme and i cant change it. I've gone to the settings and tried to switch it back to Vista theme but it does nothing.
Nothing else is wrong, I just hate the look of Windows Classic.
What should I do?

Yeah, if the theme is selectable but doesn't apply, maybe you need to reinstall your graphics drivers.

Be sure to clear out old ones first through at least uninstall and restart.

Get latest ones from manufacturer such as nvidia.com or amd.com (for ati)

Easiest way I guess to update drivers.

Download this. http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-266.58-whql-driver.html
1.Put the download on desktop.
2.Get to device manager, and expand Display adapters.
3.Find your card model, right click it, and click uninstall. (Check the box remove drivers.)
4.When done restart computer.
5.After reboot install the new driver that you downloaded.
6.Restart Again.

That should be it. You should also see some performance increase and what not. If you haven't updated in awhile.
