Hi
This problem has been bugging me for some time now, and I cannot find the
answer. I have tried in other Help Forums but have been unable to solve the
issue. It's no big deal, but I would dearly like to find an answer.
My computer runs WinXP Home SP2, and I prefer to view Windows in the
'Classic' style as opposed to Windows XP Style. ( It may be something to do
with my age, over 70).
Every now and again, perhaps once a month or so, I switch on the computer
and everything is showing in Windows XP Style. I go to Display
Properties/Appearance/Windows Buttons/and change it to Windows Classic
Style. For some unknown reason every few weeks, it changes itself to Windows
XP Style. Can someone tell me why Windows prefers to run 'XP' style, and not
'Windows Classic' style.
I have gone to Performance/Settings/Visual Effects/Unticked 'Let Windows
choose what's best for my computer/ticked Custom and unticked 'Use visual
styles on windows and buttons'. That didn't stop it reverting back to WinXP
style. It has just done it again this morning. I haven't installed anything
or had any updates in the last couple of days.
I know it's no big deal, it's easy to change, but every time it does it, I
think 'now why has it done that?' Someone put me out of my misery, 'Why did
it do that?'
