hi everyone,
I think I've same problem here.
Before this i use vista home premium but after several updating trough
online updating by microsoft, my OS became vista home basic. When i check the
themes, theme for windows aero is not existing anymore. besides that, the
resolution for my lap-top changed and I can't repair it because the file is
lost and there only two types either highest or medium resolution.
my screen saver cannot work also.
this happen after my last upgrading 2 days ago.
I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, or should I re-format my
device ??
