Restoring Windows XP Theme Buttons and Windows

[Guest]

Hello
I seem to have lost my Windows XP Theme and I would like to get it back. When I go to the Display Properties window and select the Appearance tab, there is a selection called Windows and buttons: and it is currently selected to Windows Classic style. I would like to change it back to the Windows XP style that I had before but the only choice I have is the Windows Classic style. Any ideas on how to get back the default XP windows and buttons

Thanks
Frank

Frank, before you select Appearance there's a box labeled Themes in
Display Properties. What have you selected in there?

Rich,
Thanks for replying. Under Display Properties, Themes Tab, the currently selected theme is My Current Theme. I have the options of My Current Theme, Windows Classic, More Themes Online, My Favorite Theme, and Browse...

Thanks to Kelly's Korner (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_t.htm#themes), I discovered that the Theme Service Manager had been disabled. Once enabled, I could get the xp theme back working

Thanks for the help
