Hi all,

I cannot find the XP Theme. If I right click on the desktop and select
Properties then Appearance, my only choice is for Windows Classic.

I am trying to get the command buttons, etc., to change from the
rectangle-grey to the XP style.

I am running XP Pro version 2002 Service pack 1.

Thanks,

George

Have you tried the theme tab, theme: scroll to WinXP, apply?

This may help you,

Start the Theme service and set to Automatic.

Reinstall XP's themes. Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove
Windows Components. Have your XP CD handy, if needed.

Well I removed Windows/Background, Desktop (that was the only thing I found)
and re-installed it.

But still no XP Theme.
