donpepin Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi,I realy don´t know what I have done tochange my taskbar color from blue to gray even the start botton is gray, what is more the outlook 2003 enviroment has changed to a sad gray, very much like the early versions. I belive it could be due to a program that I might have instaled or removed, but has it changed?Thanks :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donpepin Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Go to display properties and change colour scheme to Windows deafault if you want blue.Thanks a lot, I have got the original colour back, both for the taskbar and outlook. but when I choose properties, I do not see the original display with options for the wall paper etc. it is much more reduced in dimention and options too, a plain and unique menu that offers the option "Save as" "delete" and theme. no more options as such display size or coulors etc.I returned to win xp option and the coulors are right.

You may need to set it to "streched" to have your image fill the screen.The settings tab will allow you to change display size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donpepin Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi,thanks for the responces, say when I right click on the desktop, a simple menue as screen proprety apeares, it dose not offer as the original all the options to chose such as, wall papers, screen savers, configuration etc. If I choose as you mention, win xp, the xp desktop image comes back, the menue turns into normal with all the options, then I press apply and accpt. but if I right click again to see screen properties, the single option menue appears again.The proplem is not the size of the image or the type, centered or streched.

Scarecrow Man Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 This menu you talk about is probably installed with your video card driver. Intel, as well as nVidia and ATI have this feature.What video card are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 You will need some information about your video card, such as the Model #, but you can download the driver (which includes this menu) from Intel's Download Site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
