    Guys I'm trying to get the Window Color and Appearance back to the way it was on my (Vista) computer when I first got it. The task bars had a translucent sort of look to it but it has gone to light blue ever since I installed Active X on it.

    I've tried to fix it by going to Personalize Appearance and Sounds>Window Color Appearance but I can't find the one that it was before.

    Can anyone tell me how to fix it back?

    You need to set your theme to the Aero. Should be good to go after that.

    Thanks. I tried that but it didn't work. How do I uninstall Active X?

    I only downloaded it because I was downloading some files for a class.
