Basic theme corrupt, black boxes in apps when connected

Hi....
On one of our Windows 2012 Remote Desktop Host servers we have the following problem.
--Not working example:
-- Working example:
So black boxes all over the place. When I troubleshooted this as admin I found that switching the theme to "Windows" under Windows standard theme  made the black boxes go away. But switching to the "Windows Basic" them makes them
appear again.
So:
-- How do I fix the basic theme? As this is the theme regular users uses and they have no option of changing theme. RemoteApp technology is used.
-- Or possibly, as I think it works fine with the "Windows" theme, how do I apply this to all users logging in to the server?
Also, I have tried to find a solution on this on the forum, the internet and be general troubleshooting. No errors in the event log in Windows......
Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you in advance.

I've just tried this (thank you Saad), with success.
Open %windir%\Resources. Change security properties of the "Themes" folder and give full control permission to your account. Enable inheritance to apply this setting for all sub folders, or, open "Themes" folder, and give full control permission
to your account on file "basic.theme". 
This first step will allow you to modify the "basic.theme" file
- On "Themes" folder, right click "basic.theme" and click "open with". Choose Notepad. 
- Click on ctrl+f and search for "aerolite.msstyles". Once you find it, replace it by "aero.msstyles".
- Save this. After that, go on control panel - personalization, apply a theme randomly, then reapply the Windows Basic theme. 
This indeed worked for me, however somehow I think this isn't a true root cause resolution and am waiting for it to bite me later....
MS please can you offer assistance as this will prevent us migrating from Citrix to RAPP?

  • Can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

    can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

    Yes. You can download the updates to the apps in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad while the iPad is connected to your computer. I did that last night because I had so many large app updates to do - apps that were 250MB up to 650MB in size - and it just made more sense to me to do it that way.

  • Problems opening apps when connected 2 USB port and after

    I'm having some problems with my new iphone 3g S... the time I connect my iPhone 2 a USB port it starts charging and sync all my content. The problem is that after the synchronization, when connected and after I disconnect it, I just can’t open any applications I installed! When I try 2 open any apps, the app just blink (the initial screen from the app is shown in half a second) and then it just closes by itself… Am I missing anything here? I find that really weird… I appreciate your help!

    Try this: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes on your computer, deselect one of apps to remove it from your phone & sync. This should remove the app from your phone. Now delete the app from iTunes on your computer. Download the app from iTunes on your iPhone & resync. This should put a clean version of the app back on your computer. Hope this helps.

  • Bug: iOS 5 using data in email app when connected to wifi. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Since I have received my new iPhone 4s I have constantly been going over my data every month. I only get 200mb. Normally I only used 20-50 tops if I used heavily with out wifi. After trying different application, and resetting the usage meter under settings. I noticed that when connected to wifi it uses data when checking for email, pushing and sending and recieving email. I've reset restored etc. nothing fixes it.

    WiFi *should* take precedence in my opinion, however it does not.  This was just confirmed to me by a supervisor at the VWZ call center.  i received a notice that i was going to be charged an overage fee due to going over the data plan i have on the iPad2.  However, this particular iPad has not been out of my house, nor away from my WiFi network all month.  When i called verizon, they confirmed that even though the ipad is connected to my wifi network, as long as 'Cellular Data' toggle is set to on, it will use that network first.
    No need for this to be the case, other than for Verizon to be able to make incremental revenue on their data plan!

  • ITunes not D/Ling apps when connected to computer

    So i buy the Plants Vs Zombies game on my iphone and i get the "Over 20 MB" error and it tells me to connect to a wifi or connect to my computer.
    It also puts an icon on my phone saying loading.
    I figure no big deal and i will jsut plug my phone in when i get home.
    When i finally do connect to Itunes on my computer i goto the app store and look up plants and zombies and  see thats it purchased. Clicking on my apps i see that i should be on my second screen "right next to the PvZ LOADING" icon.
    Problem is that even though i sync and delete it and sync again, the installed version of the icon never shows up and the "LOADING" version of the icon remains.
    It continually asks me to connect to a wifi network or to my computer ( even though it is )
    Any suggestions would help
    thanks

    I have had this happen before -- and resolved it by simply shutting down and restarting the phone.  After restarting, the "loading..." icon should be gone (or you will be able to delete it), and then a subsequent sync with itunes should work normally.

  • Problem with .png images being black boxes in InDesign

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a problem I'm having with some .png files.  When I try to place certain .png files in my InDesign document, they come in as just black boxes.  The .png files are created by a third party application, (EditLive w/MathFlow)  But if I view the .png files in Fireworks or other image viewers, they appear to be fine.  I have tried looking at the image properties inside InDesign, to see if by tweaking them it might work, but I am not a graphic designer by trade so my knowledge is rather limited.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Specs:
    Windows XP
    CS4 Suite including:
         Adobe InDesign CS4
         Fireworks CS4
    Thanks,
    Josh

    That worked!  Mostly.  The little preview box on the file upload dialog still shows a black box.  But when the image is placed inside the doc it looks perfect.  Well, as perfect as the .png can look.
    Is there any way within InDesign to "ignore" the alpha channel or whatever of the graphic?  I have access to the IDML as well as the normal application interface & the SDK through the InDesign Server.  I'd prefer not to be reliant on opening the image in another tool, as we have a large number of images to process some times & it could get annoying.  If not, I can try contacting the 3rd party group that is generating the .png & see if they can better handle the alpha channel when they're creating the image maybe...
    And thanks for the quick responses!
    -Josh

  • How can I stop the black box appearing round a movie?

    So I've created a PDF with quicktime movies embedded in it on indesign, and I've taken the black outline off and have the movie automatically playing when you open the page. The problem is when it plays another black box appears round the movie and you have to click off it to make it disappear - it looks unprofessional and if you're in full screen mode this makes it turn to the next page, and we don't want that, do we.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of this black box so that it stays without a border when it's playing? I guess it happens because the movie is selected, but I can't seem to find anywhere in the edit movie dialogue box that says anything about it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Steve, we'll look into buying Acrobat X because it would look so much better.
    One question though - If I was to sort out the settings on Acrobat X, would the black box still appear when viewed on Acrobat 8?

  • Need to turn of the black boxes around signitures. How?

    I always get black boxes around signitures when printing to PDF. How can I fix that?

    How are you signing; with Adobe Reader?  Then you better ask in the Adobe Reader forum.

  • How can i stop my iphone from allowing computers to download photos when connected?

It doesnt make sence to me that if you try and get on my phone you cant look at anything, but connect it to a computer and it allows you to download all pictures and videos.
    Thanks

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Syncing app while connected to itunes

    My touch will not allow me to sync my apps nor will it let me check the box to sync my apps when connected to itunes.  The screen is faded and will not let me choose anything! Please help!

    iTunes was restricted so I had to go and make it unrestricted.  That still didn't work until I logged into iTunes through the touch which required me to enter the security code on my credit card. I powered down and back up then connected to iTunes.  This worked!
    Your help was much appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • How do you know if your Iphone app is connecting to the internet?

    I'm a brand new Iphone user and I have a question about apps.  I only have the smallest data plan.  I'm wondering how do you know if your app (or any app you download) once opened connects to the internet?
    For instance I have a Netflix subscription.  When I hit the Netflix app is that connecting to the internet?  When I watch a movie or tv in my own que is that still on the internet?
    Or what about the Kindle app or iBooks?  Is it on the internet to read?
    Those are just two small examples.  I'm having a hard time figuring out which apps to download based on if they connect to the internet for their use.

    As a general rule, if the app stores all of its data locally on your phone, a data connection is not needed for that app to function properly. If the app does not store data locally on your phone...streaming apps(Netflix), the built in Maps app, etc., a data connection will be required for the app to function properly. You can minimize your cellular data usage by only using such apps when connected to available WiFi. You also have the ability to turn cellular data completely off in settings: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off. Best to completely read an apps description before installing such on your phone. If a data connection is required for the app to function, it will state such in the app's description.

  • Do you need a sim card for the iPad 3G and when I try to download something from the app store my screen has a black box appear is that normal and why is this happening?

    My app store does not let me download things , when I sghn in a black box appers , also does a iPad 1 3G need a sim card to download apps ?

    You posted in the iPod Shuffle forum; it might be best to post in the iPad forum, as I was a bit confused at first. Anyway,
    It doesn't need a SIM to download apps if you have Wi-Fi. Can you describe this box a little more, or better yet, screenshot it?
    Taking a Screenshot:
    Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.
    Get the photo on your computer and upload it here.
    If you don't want to do this, can you describe it a little more? When you say "black box," I'm guessing it's an outlined box that appears around any item that you tap on. Is this correct? If so, it sounds like VoiceOver was enabled. See:
    Turning VoiceOver On or Off
