OT: Why does my Windows 7 look so oldschool? Posted on: 04.01.2011 by Giuseppina Wietfeldt Hey guys,I recently bought a Asus EEE pc 1018p for school and today i upgraded the ram to 2 gigs and i don't know if that's what caused it, but now my windows looks super oldschool (like windows 98). The taskbar is all gray, the start button actually says star instead of showing a little windows icon. I'm sure it's just a setting i need to change but i dont know how to do it. here's what i looks like: how do i get it looking like it should? thanks -chris- | |

| Matt Kane 25.06.2011 | classic look was the best ever! even on win 7 i used to have it look like win xp. and also saves up some aditional ram for skill updates |
| Len Lukawski 26.06.2011 | The theme dictates the appearance. "Classic" themes will give you that old school look. I would move away from themes altogether. |
| Inocencia Bill 25.06.2011 | im having the same problem but my computer turns that way when i change to an installed theme and goes back to normal when i change the theme to the regular windows 7 theme what could be causing it to change it use to change to installed themes and it would work fine the second picture is how it use to look like. |

In that window, select "ADJUST FOR BEST APPEARANCE". This will turn everything on, and that will likely bog your netbook down. If it does, you can uncheck stuff in the box below to get a balance between pretty and performance. |
| Maisie Marras 04.01.2011 | that or youre somehow in safe mode. change your theme/ install a new one and you should be good to go |
| Verona Fashbaugh 04.01.2011 | Did you check your control panel? Pretty sure you can choose whether or not you want it to have the older look. |
| Dewey Melchi 04.01.2011 | Oh, reading your post, . its cause you have a netbook. Netbooks cant handle all the bells and whistles of fullblown windows 7 |
| Dewey Melchi 04.01.2011 | Either your video card cant handle Aero, or you have the settings turned down. |
