Windows 7 Themes will not Roam with Roaming User Profiles

Hi,
If I install a theme pack from the Microsoft Personalization website, it will install on the PC I am currently using. However, if I log onto another PC, the theme will not roam. I mean the wallpaper collection, the sounds, the screensaver, and the window
color. I am using a GPO to delete user profile on logoff, and I am using folder redirection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Could you please tell more details about the GPO which was set to delete user profile on logoff? Are we in a domain environment?
Before going further, please run gpresult /v on a command line with the admin rights and then post back the result.
If I understand rightly, the user logged on with a newly created profile every time as there is no user profile settings(deleted every time on logoff) for the user to load.
As the user profile settings is deleted, any changes made are no more available.
Best regards

  • Windows 8 will not activate with new SSD (second) hard drive

    I added a new SSD drive in the second hard drive bay. I used the HP restoration media to install Windows 8 on the new SSD drive. Windows 8 will not activate. After spending 90 minutes on the phone with HP support (and paying $150), they told me to contact Microsoft. After spending some time with Microsoft, they told me that the Windows product key is being locked by HP, and there is nothing they can do.

    Hi badgerbuzz,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • User defined custom Windows theme is not saved during roaming profile syncronization

    Hi,
    We have Windows 8.1 computers in a 2012 domain. The user profiles is roamed to a file server during logon and logoff.
    We have excluded many folders under appdata\roaming and appdata\local and was also excluding \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes, but included this folder again in the roaming profile.
    Our problem is that the users is saving a custom Windows theme, but when logging out and in again the settings is still there, but after a while the custom color settings set back to Windows defaults.
    We are using VMware View 5.3 and are using non-persistent pools, this means that the users get a new "computer" every time they login and at logoff the computer is reset/revert to default snapshot and given to another user.
    Therefore most of the settings under Local appdata and all localow appdata files and configurations is reset at logoff for users.
    what is the required files/folders/registry keys to fully support custom Windows themes ? If we have that info we can include the necessary files in our user enviroment.
    we have not found any userful info on the web for this specific issue.

    Hi,
    In my opinion, you can try to create a new Default User Profile on this system and mondify its defualt theme as you want. Because everytime new user login, it would generate the new user profile based on Default User Profile.
    You can refer to the content below for more details:
    Customize the default local user profile when preparing an image of Windows:

    Yes, I we have already made a custom theme on the image, but in this case we need to configure a special theme for one specific user during logon. 
    Does anyone know of a solution to this?  

  • Recently reloaded Adobe Acrobat/CS3 on Windows 8- will not work with printer

    I recently trashed my old laptop and reloaded Cs3 on the new one with Windows8. When I open Adobe Acrobat, it will not allow me to "Create from Scanner" because it does not allow me to "Select a Device".
    Even though I can print to the same device just fine in Illustrator or Photoshop, Acrobat does not seem to recognize the device.
    According to Adobe Customer Care (HA!) the issue is not the activation because it shows I am already activated.
    During the initial process of reinstalling CS3, it did ask me to insert my copy of Windows, which I skipped, because this new computer/laptop came pre-loaded and I don't have a disk, per-se.

    Most likely an unresolvable compatibility issue. CS3 comes from a time where Win 8 couldn't even be dreamed of, after all. As suggested, update your printer driver and check the permissions on the device, but that's as good as it may get.

    Which exact model of AirPort Express do you have? Which wireless security type is it configured for? Does your Windows XP PC support this type? Can the PC connect if you disable wireless security on the AirPort?

  • Publisher 2013 - will not open under DOMAIN user profile.

    Publisher 2013 - will not open/launch under a normal user profile.  mspub.exe shows in taskmanager then disappears.  This is a Windows 7 machine.

    Hi,
    If we create a new Windows account on the computer and start Publisher with the new account. Does it work?
    If so, we maybe consider recreating the user profile of the specified account.
    If the issue persists with the new account, please repair the Office program and then try again.

  • HELP! Safari will not work with "standard user" via airport card in my mini

    Hello, I am successfully connecting with safari via an airport card in my mini mac. I am the administrator of the osX. However no other "user" can connect to the internet via safari. What am I doing wrong? When a standard user clicks on the "internet connect icon" the 2wire224 is an aption but no internet page will connect. Help!!!!!!! ISP has gone as far as they can in helping me.

    Hello, I have tried to solve via internet connect - no help. All of a sudden, since I made the post, the 2wire24 selection is now requiring a keychain password to get on. And sometimes my wep password. I know all these but don't want to have to use them and or give them out to my standard users. Any other suggestions or help?

  • Windows Mail will not connect with Comcast server

    I've been getting the following error message all day today when trying to send/receive email via Windows Mail: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F I've verified that all email account settings are correct using Comcast George's post, and with two Comcast phone reps.  I've disabled email scanning on my Norton 360. Nothing about my setup was changed recently.  I have successfully received emails on this computer/Windows Vista/Windows Mail for years with no problem. First Comcast rep basically said "Tough, b***h" since I am able to access my email via Comcast's web site.  She viewed the issue as strictly a Windows Mail problem. Second Comcast rep had me change all settings on my account, with no solution.  Then said she would escalate the problem on up the line. Does anybody have any ideas on how to make this work once again?

AV programs don't like being told what to do. ;-) AV programs are pegged as the most likely culprit when Googling on 0x800CCC0F. Upgrading to Windows Live Mail is often recommended, and I recommend trying a different email client as well, but my recommendation would be Thunderbird. MS email clients are famous for quirky problems. On the other hand, someone with a similar problem (on a Mac, so different error message) changed his password and things started working again. I'm a little skeptical about that, thinking that it might have just been coincidence, but it could be worth a try. To see if you're having the same problem, you could turn on logging in Windows Mail and post the log here. Tools|Options|Advanced|Maintenance|Troubleshooting. Click on the Store Folder button above the Troubleshooting section to see where the log file will get saved. Remember to turn off logging when you're done troubleshooting.

  • Adobe Reader will not run with limited user account.

    I am trying to upgrade our Citrix Server Farm, from Reader 8.0 to 9.1, and am running into some issues.  First I uninstalled Adobe Reader 8.0 and then installed 9.1 from Adobe's site. Aftter the install completed I was able to run 9.1 without any problems.  However today, when some limited users started working, they started getting runtime errors.  This only happens with non-administrator user accounts.
    the error messages are attached.
    After clicking OK, Adobe Reader terminates.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I do believe that I solved my own problem... almost.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404597.html
    "The affected user has a redirected Application Data folder and as a result the network path containing the Application Data uses a UNC path that begins with \\. This UNC path causes Acrobat 9.0 or Adobe Reader 9.0 to incorrectly parse the Application Data path and give the error message."
    The article tells me to upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.1...   WTF!!!  9.1 is when this problem started, 8.0 worked great!  I would stay with 8.0 if I could, but some of our programs require 9.1.

  • HT1414 I recently purchased three movies but two of them will not sync with my new ipad.  What should I do?

    I recently purchased three movies via ITunes on my computer.  I bought them to transfer to my new Ipad mini.  When I tried to sync them to the Ipad mini 1 worked and the other two did not.  How do I fix this without having to reset all the settings?

    Check in iTunes on the "Movies" tab while your iPad is syncing and make sure you have the correct sync options checked.
    Also, I assume you did in fact purchase (and not rent) the movies.  Rented movies have different rules - they can only be on one device at a time.

  • Total space free on my mac does not conincide with my user profile

    ok, macbook pro, 2009 intel core 2 duo, 2009. I migrated my wife's profile from a time machine back up, gave her admin rights (because i uggraded) then deleted my old profile off the mac, making this her computer now. Her profile when i click get info shows 40gb total. But when i do the math, 319 total hardrive - 157gb avaialbe = 162gb (rough). My question is where is the other 122gb used? Did i do something wrong because I did not fully understand how to restore my old mac to factory settings then load her info from the time machine. Thanks in advace for everyones help.

  • 2702-UX-K9 Access Point will not associate with controller.

    Hi,
    I recently purchased nine new 2702 APs.  Two of them will not associate with the controller.  I realized they they had a different part number.  They ended with UX-K9 instead of -K9 like the others.  It turns out that these are new AP that are universal for any country.  They APs find the controller but need some sort of password to pull the config down.  I"m not sure what this could be?

    Thanks in advance for the replies! 

    Rasika,
    I have the same issue on my home 2504 with these 2700 UX, I have tried code 8.0.100.0, 8.0.110.0 (Docs say this is the min version supported), and even 8.0.115.0 (latest available) still no dice. The AP won't register, and gives the error stated above. I am seeing 2 images available for the AP, the AP shipped with the later image but  I AP recovery isn't working because it say's unable to find image with XX in the name? I see the TFTP logs, and name the file accordingly no dice, then the unable to find file name -XX pops up too. As you know I am busy during the day this week, but let's jump on a skype and take a look later maybe you have seen something I haven't?
    For good measure, also attempted to join a 3650 here at the house IOS-XE 3.6 no dice, going to try 3.7 too tomorrow, It worked for the 3700 UX AP's we had??

  • Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7.  The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8).  For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work.  However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things!  Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.
