Wow… Are you sure you uninstalled everything? Deleted all Vista download files and restarted your computer after it?

There’s no other way to fix this problem else than get it to computer technician to look?

I would try looking for a computer enthusiasts forum before going to a technician…

It sounds like Vista reverted to a non-Aero theme. Try this:

1: Right-click on the desktop and select “Personalize”.

2: Click “Window Color and Appearance”

3: Select “Windows Aero” and click OK

This might fix everything. If not, do this:

1: Right-click on desktop and select “Personalize” again

2: Click on “Theme”

3: Under Theme, select “Windows Vista” and click OK

This should get you back to the “new” interface you’re used to, assuming that’s the problem.
