Windows 7 has XP look and can't change!

Anty__ · Nov 25, 2016

Hey!

I logged onto my PC today, and my desktop and all other windows have the "Classic" look, which looks like Windows XP. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I can't change it to the default Win 7 state, because they are hrey, and can't be clicked on. Someone please help!
(My OS is in German, sorry)

well ? you change that in control panel / personalization

then if your vid-card is not capable or supporting aero themes or its gone bad or a driver issue it will default to a basic desktop

then got to ask why your 7 has win 10 crap in your screen shot ?? mine don't matter of fact not even XP just classic ??

looking over these screen shots from google images I don't see anything close to what your getting

only other thing is maybe you got some kind of illegitimate copy of windows 7 ??

From your first screenshot, it looks like there is a button mentioning Problemhandling... Aero at the bottom. I would try clicking on that and see if Windows can fix the issue.
