Visual Paradigm Ribbon Bar vs Classic - visual-paradigm

Question
A colleague and I both have visual paradigm 12 enterprise installed.
On my own computer I have the classic menu bar:
On the colleague's computer it is the same version but it displays a ribbon bar.
We both prefer the classic menu.
What could be a reason for this? Could it be cause she installed visual paradigm 13 on the same machine?
Update
Using the answer from #Karol, below is a screenshot pointing to the specific dialogs/buttons.

You can change it in Application Option (Ribbon):
Window -> Application Options -> Appearance (tab) -> User Interface.
Change UI to Classic and restart VP.

Visual Studio 2015 displays controls without 3D effects

For some reason, VS 2015 is showing checkboxes, radiobuttons, etc. with a flat look:
Is there a way to make them look like this:
This is after just starting a new project with however it is initially setup. I'm running Windows 10. Any ideas?
If you want the Windows 95/98 "old look" you can disable the use of Visual Styles in your application:
Right-click your project in the Solution Explorer and press Properties.
Go to the Application tab and untick Enable XP visual styles.

Web Test recorder does not allow me to record a test IE11 windows 7

I am trying to record a Web Performance Test using the Web Test Recorder 12.00 plugin that comes with VS 2013.
This is what I get when the toolbar opens:
As you can see the buttons are greyed out and disabled.
I have followed this work around, but without any luck.
Are there any restrictions for this tool?
Is that a known issue?
I have disabled the Web Test Recorder Helper Add-on and restarted IE, and enabled Add-on again. And it worked for me.
I'm brand new to performance testing, and ran into the same problem using VS 2015, Win 7, IE11. The culprit in my case was an IE11 add-on called "Office Document Cache Handler". Microsoft was the one that created the add-on (which I find rather frustrating), but hopefully this helps someone down the road.
This is a known issue. Been around for years. Unfortunately, Microsoft has no sure fire method to resolve it.
I am currently having this issue and would really like to find a supported solution, as I will not be shelling out the big bucks for 2013 Ultimate with this issue stopping me from using it for web load testing.
Issues with this have been under discussion on msdn since at least 2007: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mtaute/archive/2007/11/09/diagnosing-and-fixing-web-test-recorder-bar-issues.aspx
3rd party edit
The link above contains different "fixes" depending on the OS and the VS version. The version 2013 was not mentioned. But to include at least some information the following quotes are extracts from Michael Taute (MSFT) post:
VSTS 2005: Vista:
Recorder bar displays, but the controls are disabled.
Fix: Webtest recording using VS 2005 on Vista only works when running in
elevated mode. [When launching VS 2005, right click the icon and choose to
run as administrator]
or
VSTS 2005, 2008: Windows 2003/Vista:
Recorder bar comes up, but the controls are disabled.
Fix: the web test recorder bar does not work with IE enhanced security
enabled. (VSTS 2008 will actually display an error message telling you
this) IE enhanced security can be removed from within the Control
panel / Add Remove Programs / Windows Setup
or
VSTS 2005, 2008, 2010 Beta 1: Windows 7:
When launching the recorder, the recorder bar does not appear
Fix: The Windows 7 security model is slightly different than previous
versions of windows. (go figure :)
To get the recorder to show up, you’ll have to run Visual Studio
in elevated mode.
I've got TWO addons:
Microsoft Web Test Recorder 12.0 Helper (Publisher = "Microsoft Corporation")
Web Test Recorder 12.0 (Publisher = "Not Available")
Both of them should be enabled, otherwise recorder toolbar is grayed out or not displayed at all. I'm running Windows 10 and VS 2013 update 5.
Instead of adding 'WebAndLoadTestProject' to existing solution, Start with new solution as given in below steps.
Open Visual studio in 'Run As Administration' mode
Create new project -> Test -> add 'Web performance And Load Test Project'.WebAndLoadTestProject
This opens IE browser with record button enabled state.

No "store" menu option or "Windows Store" project type in Visual Studio 2013 Preview

I'm looking at all these tutorials on how to create a Windows 8 app, and everyone keeps telling me to click on the Store menu option to request a developers license, but there is no Store menu option. There is also no project type for "Windows Store". What the ??
The Store menu has moved. You can find it under Project -> Store
Also you need Windows 8 running on your machine to develop Windows Store Apps.
What is your version of Visual Studio ? If it is RC2, you can find it in Project menu.

wpf project to pixelsense application

I'm trying to write a Microsoft surface application for Samsung sur40 pixelsense machine. I have found some sample projects online and run them on the MS Visual C# 2010, but I want to convert these projects into applications so that I can put them into Samsung sur40 and run them in its surface mode. Do you know how I can actually achieve this?
In order to write these type of applications, I am using the following OS, programs and tools.
Embedded Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express Edition
.NET Framework 4.0
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) 4.0
Microsoft XNA® Framework 4.0
Windows PowerShell and DMTF DASH support, and enhanced administrator tools
MS Surface 2.0 SDK(an Input Simulator allows me to develop and test projects on Windows 7 PCs)
Everything is working properly and I can test the sample projects on my PC. I just want to make a Visual Studio project to run in the Samsung sur40 machine. Please help me if it is possible? If you need further explanations to answer my question, please let me know and I try to expand the problem. Thank you in advance.

visual basic 6.0 project menu corrupted

I do not know why the project menu in visual basic 6.0 IDE has been corrupted and I don't see
all menu items such as references, project properties,....
it might be useful to know that I have installed SP6.0 of visual studio 2000 enterprise edition.
any suggestion ?
The vb6 ide can be customized.
Try right clicking on a menu or toolbar and select "Customize...", you should be able to see a full list of commands (I can't recall, but there should be an option to reset it, too).
