Solved Vista bad for administrators

[Charlie3]

i use the administrator user on my pc as my main user and i don't have exactly the same interface as other standard uses accounts. see attached photos.

by the way the one of the menu bar should have a preview of the window just in case it looked normal.

my administrator user looks different to the standard one.

eg when i hover over a minimized window in the task bar i don't get a preview of the window

my start menu looks different c the pics

and so do my close, minimize and maximize buttons

this is what they should look like

tek101 we must have posted at the same time.

my start menu is not the classic one but is just a different looking normal one

this is my menu

Hi Charlie,

Are you using a non-Aero theme?

 

[Charlie3]

nope just using the standard one

Have you run the WEI assessment?

Which colour scheme are you using?

Windows Vista Inside Out Deluxe p101

ahh that was the problem i was using the vista basic rather than the aero, thank you dwarf

Thank you all.

 

[Dwarf]

Ahh... By standard I see you mean a scheme that is included in Vista, just not the Aero one. Anyhow, I'm pleased that your problem has been resolved.
