Changes colour scheme of Windows Home Ultimate

from Stardock Forums
Hi all,

I have downloaded the ObjectDock Plus yesterday. However, when I restarted my laptop (Windows Home Ultimate), my color scheme became Windows Home Basic which I'm unable to change it back to Aero settings.

Here is the screen shot that I took:-



I have already uninstalled it and have cleared all the registry as well as the remaining folders for ObjectDock, however, the problem is persist.

I hope that someone would be able to help me as I dislike the Basic color schemes.

Thanks in advance.. Any help would be appreciated..

Ok first of all, I have no idea what "Windows Home Ultimate" is so my advice may be wrong if you are using some special European version of Windows. Did you mean "Vista Ultimate" or perhaps "Vista Home Premium"

If so, there is a way to force Windows to switch between Aero and Basic window styles:

1) Open the Run dialog: Start Menu->Run... (or just press Winkey+R)

2) In the Run Dialog type: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe dwmApi #102

3) Hit Enter or click the OK button

That should turn Aero back on. If you want to go back to Basic windows graphics you can do so with the following in the Run Dialog instead:

C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe dwmApi #104

Which simply turns Aero off.

If that doesn't work then you have another program that is forcing Vista to stay in Basic mode. Like a game running or something else that uses DirectX.
