Description Hi! I installed win7 about 5 times, and i ever got the same result. Everything works included transparency for taskbar and startmenu. But the border of all windows looks crazy and the buttons are nearly not to use. I think the program tries to display aero and normal mode at the same time. In base mode all is fine. Had installed 6956 and 7000 on the same machine without probs. Any help would be great.
Meanwhile i am sure it fails to load the themes correctly. But how to solve this?

You can change everything you want.You can totally rebuild a new one, using reshacker.It's only a question of taste.

Same effect with original windows wdd driver,installed by Windows7,the newest Win7 Betadriver from Nvidia and with the driver i used for build 7000. Nothing changes. So i googled around a little. There are more people with this problem. And they all have Nvidia. Maybe Microsoft makes a patch for this. I hope so.

I have installed this on a old clunker which has a Geforce6200. It has a WEIscore of 3.2 which is enough for Aero. Tried all resolutions. What do you mean with size of the buttons?

wow... friend... you have a big problem... I recommend windows7 download from Microsoft ... The truth is very strange --- Try to activate the basic style ... and turn off the computer ... then reinstall the airport ... Maybe it's a type of error with the graphics drivers ... Try to install all updates available for Win7 ...

Hi Fran! I have downloaded the file from Microsoft, but it will not work except the base style. The maximize/ minimizebuttons are nearly not visible. You can see on the screenshot how it looks. I will download it from another server and try again. Also had problems with 7000 which i have downloaded four times from Microsoft. Than i went to the piratebay and the first download was working. Crazy. Thanks for your comment.
Greetings.

Hi Sagor! i have downloaded and installed the patch. But nothing changes. I just thougt so, because the themes are original Microsoft themes and don`t need a patch. But thank you for the tool. I think i will need it one day. I must have a break now. I spended nearly my whole weekend to install the RC with this ugly result.Will try it again another day.
Greetings Peter

Not sure if it will help, but anyway, have you tried to switch the theme?
