How to change the appearence of Windows?

Have your computer been running slow lately? Are you running the prestigious yet resource hungry Microsoft operating system like Windows XP or Windows Vista? Wel if the answer is yes then you may be a victim to classic Microsoft-do-it-slow phobia. In case you are wondering what the hell is that then the imple answerwould be that microsoft operating systems tend to ecome slow with time but that is not the biggest issu. The biggest issue is that if you do not have a tip top pc then beeive it or not, ytou shouldnt try windows vista and even XP is a mess at times.

I am not saying that you should not run a Windows operating system specially Windows XP or Windows Vista but the thing is that you need a realy fast PC with a good graphics processing unit a.k.a graphics accelerator.

If you do not know what graphics cards are then you can read this to set up your graphics card and Why updating your drivers is important so that you know you get the best out of your PC.

Well let us assume that you can not afford or do not want to buy something and still want to use windows vista or windiws XP for some weird reason then my suggestion would be to change the appearence of your Windows. Appearence is provided to give a different look and feel to your computer but these appearence settings serve more than that.

In Windows XP or Vista, you can right click on an empty space on your desktop and click Properties. In XP a new settings window will open with different tabs. You can select the themes tab and select Windiws Classic theme. If you are running Windows Vista, as soon as you hit the properties tab, you are offered a full page of mindblowing options. Select themes and change the theme to windows Classic. Once you do that, your settings and appearence will be changed to Pre-Windows XP style.

If, for any unknown ewason, you cant see themes in any of these Windows, then now is the time to look for appearence tab in XP or Windows color and appearence link in Vista. In XP, select the windiws classic style and you can see different classic style shades and color. For Vista, you have to use advanced ptions from the appearence link. You will see the same page as XP to select Classic appearence settings instead of the Aero Interface. Change it and make your life easy with less graphics andd fast perormance. Hurray
