Aero Display Problem

[sobershea]

When I "Personalize" my Windows 7 Desktop the Aero Themes all display black boxes, yet the themes work. One of those silly things that make you wonder

Any ideas?

Have you updated your Windows Experience Index?

Yes, I updated it and there is no change.

Have you run a system cleaning tool that may have deleted the pictures used in the theme display?

Well, the pictures were missing but I grabbed them from my other PC and the themes seemed to work. I wonder if I didn't save them to the correct spot? I put them in Windows/Web/Wallpaper. Or, maybe the actual theme file is missing. Do you know where Microsoft saves those?

That's strange. I use a personalized custom theme, so I never paid much attention to the Aero themes. I brought up the personalize screen and my Aero themes look the same as yours. Just a black box?
Since I don't use them, it doesn't bother me, I just went back to my old theme. I'll have to look further into this, I don't think it's correct to show up like that.
