I lost my windows xp theme from a utlilty program I downloaded that was
suppose to optimize my computer. It change my theme to what appears to be the
classic view and when trying to change back to my XP theme its no longer in
my display properties. its been in the themes window as windows xp(modified).
How do I get my theme back to full xp theme and not xp modified? Is there a
download for this or what?
Thanks

Use the "utility" that changed it in the first place? If it doesn't work,
contact the maker for help?

What *was* the program? Apps that promote themselves as being able to
"optimize my computer" may do quite the opposite...
 
Check if the Themes service is being stopped.

1. Click Start - Run - type SERVICES.MSC
2. Here in the right side pane check for the service name Themes.
3. Double-click the service and set the Startup type to Automatic click
Apply and then click Start.
4. Goto Display Properties - Theme tab and see if Windows XP theme is back
now.

Hope this help, let us know!
