Quick Question

Does the window look like the image below when you click on Window Color and Appearance?

Ticking the Enable transparency check box makes a window border appear the way you want it to & like the image you posted on June 9th. At least it does on my computer. You can tell the window header is transparent in the image above too.

It looks like this:

It looked the way you had it before I reinstalled my Vista.

  You shouldn't be seeing the screen you posted unless you click the Open classic appearance properties for more color options link in the screenshot I posted. I can think of no reason why clicking on Window Color and Appearance would take you straight to the Appearance Settings window rather than opening up the proper screen. You mentioned the system is a XPS 420. Did you try using the PC Restore utility before you went & performed a manual OS reinstall using the Vista disc?

I tried using the PC restore, but it didn't work, because I had to totally wipe 7 off. That's what I get when I click on appearance and color settings, and have ever since I reinstalled it...

THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKED!

Great! Glad to have helped. :emotion-1:

For a "Quick Question", this sure turned into a saga!

Since I'm not a Vista user, I would have never figured this out. Good job, Namek! :emotion-21:
