    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:

    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:

    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.
