Yuk! My display settings have gone wrong [SOLVED]

[Floydspaws]

I'm running XP, have just installed and ran ASC version 6.0 Pro. The font and colour settings for all Windows programmes seem to have changed i.e. become very basic indeed:

• No colour in the bottom screen bar
  
• tabs there very box-y with different font
  
• 'start' button on the right has become a wrap-around the Windows logo and 'Start'
  
• Outlook mailbox has lines separating individual messages
  
• Bars along the top of file boxes look much more 2D than they did before
  
• etc
  

 

I've taken a look at Windows 'settings' and 'appearance' via control panel but can't find anything to change the display back. I also can't see anything in ASC6 that would have done this (although obviously I've missed something somewhere).

 

What have I done?

How do I change it back?

How to I disable the feature that caused this?

You probably turned on Turbo boost and disabled "Themes Manager" and "Aero Glass Effect" Just uncheck these settings while configuring turbo boost ;-)

 

Turn off turbo boost and configure it again just uncheck these two settings

 

Cheers :mrgreen:

Yep "Themes Manager was ticked" :oops: I can't see an option for "Aero Glass Effect" displayed.

 

I've unticked "Themes manager" - no result. Carried on to reactivate boost again and still no result.

 

e2a with boost off, the problem's still there.

 

e2*ahem*aa... sorted now. Thanks Lyon :)

You're welcome ;-)

 

You can't see "Aero Glass Effect" cuz you probably use Windows XP :mrgreen:

 

Cheers 8:)
