It didn’t work here.

Thats bad it have not worked :(
You are welcome and thanks for the feedback :)
Just one question: are you using Windows 7 SP1?
Sorry man, but I made a mistake.
I tought that I had installed the 7 basic. But I installed the 7 starter.
You can delete my comment.
Sorry again.
Nothing to say sorry :) It happens.
I thought something got changed in Windows 7 registry after installation of SP1 that is creating problem; thats why asked you about SP1 :D
Your family, your country should proud of having a person like you: you came back just to say you were wrong. Very few does it. Great :love:
Thanks man. I appreciate your helpfulness to answer me.
And great site. :)
You are welcome :) Thank you very much for the appreciation. You can try this tool :
http://thecustomizewindows.com/2010/10/system-transparency/ ; though frankly I am not sure if it will work for Windows 7 Starter. If does not work, you have two options to get a better look (Starter really look bad :( ):
If you have budget, upgrade / buy Windows 7 Home premium (or upwards).
If you do not have budget, try KDE Plasma workspace. Screenshots in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Plasma_Workspaces . Typically it was for Linux, now work is going on for Windows too, here is the link to official website:
http://windows.kde.org/
It looks great. I will try that later.
Thanks.
You are welcome :)
hey buddy i hav win7 home basic nd i tried the above procedure nd it didnt work ??? :((((
Basic or Starter? and is it pre-installed (OEM)? Give details.
Is the windows 7 home basic that I have will still be genuine? Please. I don’t want to lose the genuine status of my windows 7!
It has nothing to do with Genuine Advantage checking. You will not lose the Genuine status.
If you really have a Genuine copy if any process makes it invalid, a simple phone to Microsoft (number available on the activation window) can solve the issue – they gives another bigger number to activate it back. I faced it twice while changing Optical drive and RAM.
Personally I think from my experience that, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is far better than windows 7 home basic.
