I want to switch to classic view on the start menu in
windows XP. I keep coming up with an error telling me
that it had a problem downloading the file and could not
continue. It does not say what file it had problems
downloading so I don't know what file it is. I though
windows XP already came with all of the files needed to
switch to classic view without having to download any
files. I have switched it on other computers without
having to download any files. Thanks to anybody who
replies.
