Hi Carey,
Just tried the undo but i still can't get the windows xp
theme, although it is listed [just displays the classic
theme]. Do you have any other ideas on how to fix?
Cheers
Nik

Hi,
One more idea, right click on "My Computer" and select properties. Flip to
the advanced tab and click on settings under performance. Make sure there is
a check beside "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" is checked.
