Answer 1

I have XP so it might be different for Vista,but this is how i would do it!

Right click desktop with mouse, a box will open up and you must click "Properties"-> under the "Themes" tab pull down the scroll box and choose the theme you want and save it for it to make the changes.

Answer 2

You live with your mom?

Then leave the computer how she likes it!

Answer 3

Right click your desktop and go to properties... Then select a new theme.

Also, make sure that Aero and "visual effects" are enabled.

Answer 4

If it is your mom's computer leave it the way she likes it.

Answer 5

Talk to your mother, and see if you can't reach a truce on this matter. She turned off Aeroglass and other features because they consume resources needlessly, but maybe you can settle on having some of the /ista UI on but not Aeroglass or certain other things.

Also, why not just personalize it with wallpaper?

Answer 6

Where was the update from, from windows update or something else. More info is needed to know what the problem could be.
