I came home today and found my computer had turned from the sleek silver windows xp theme into the windows classic version. I also have no sound and in the control panel it isn't picking up any audio devices. I cant change the theme back to windows xp in properties either it says im using Windows XP (modified). PLEASE HELP ME! All i know is that the power went out at some point today (about 7 hours ago)
I've used programs like Style XP or Theme XP but non of them have the theme I want. I want windows to look the way it does when you chose Start Shut down. Basically a greyscale theme is what I'm looking for. I realize that sounds wierd but maybe someone out there already has it and they wouldn't mind pointing me to where it can be found.
Was upgraded to Office 2003 but has plain gray borders; I had it at last firm and overall look was blue which I believe was the XP theme. Under Display Properties > Color scheme, Windows XP is not a choice. I'm thinking I'm missing the XP Theme (Themes as a service is running) but can't seem to find the download on www.microsoft.com
I have downloaded an icon theme from www.everaldo.com The icons look great but I have no idea how to apply them. I downloaded it as a .tar.gz and then I extracted it to a folder containing folders with different sized icon, a file called ".dolphinview" and an "index.theme" file. I tried simply opening the index.theme file from "themes" in display properties but it cannot read it. When I open it in OOO and compare it to a theme it looks very different, a theme starts with [Theme] whereas this begins with [Icon Theme]. I think I am supposed to attach the index.theme file to my theme but I have no idea how.
I've found a way to get a theme out of XP-Windows Server 2003 without using the theme service. It's basically a variation of the silver theme. The steps are assuming you don't have the theme service turned on.
1.Open the Run command and type in services.msc
2.Find Themes, double click it and start the service
I was very curious when Vista came out. I searched google for Vista theme for XP. When I found it I install it, but installed few XP to Vista programs and my theme is totally bad. Now I need your help how to get previous theme. I tried to use uninstall options in XP to Vista programs but that didn't work.
I just spent a number of hours getting rid of Trojan.desktophijack.B and Trojan.popuper, and now i cant get my windows xp theme off of "windows classic." i can select the theme but when i go to "windows and buttons" all that is available is "windows classic style." how do i fix this? i find it ironic that i can manually clean a registry but changing themes is beyond me.
I have windows xp sp2 and I am using windows classic style i tried to right click desktop go to properties and click on appearance (so i could change back to windows xp style) but in the drop down menu all i see is one option which is the classic theme
Here's a screenshot. You can see how some aspects of the OS are changed (because of the theme), but the taskbar looks like it's in classic mode

I've tried applying the theme with StyleXP, but it wasn't compatible with my build of XP. I've also tried using TuneUp Utilities Styler, but that didn't help either. I've checked Taskbar->Properties->Start Menu, and it was set to "Windows XP", not classic
cant get the xp theme back on my system after removing a virus and using the restore feature on my xp cd. I did notice that my theme changed to the windows classic style while dealing with the virus. The virus changed my theme to classic and added a webpage as my background picture so I think that was the cause. What should I do to fix this problem of not being able to change my theme to xp.
Ps. The theme is available but when I choose it all it does is it changes my background picture and colors but my buttons and windows stay classic.
I have just gone through the process of removing viruses from my computer, and then my XP theme goes away. I use XP Home Edition, and I am stuck with the Classic Theme with the lame white bars everywhere. Where do I go to reclaim my XP Theme?
I originally lost my windows "luna" themes and it reverted back to classic themes only at this point it would not let me change the theme without giving me a much dreaded error message for even highlighting the new theme rightclickdesktop -> properties -> appearance I can no longer change the selected theme as the box and drop down is "greyed out" and locked for some reason However, i can change the color and font and effects and advanced. Unfortunately, without an external program like Tuneup Utilities 2009 i can not change my theme back to XP's Luna theme from classic any other way of my knowledge. So i have to run that program every time i restart if i want my theme back every time i get on my pc.
After an attempt to install a new dvd player, my windows XP Luna theme (the one for windows xp verses windows classic) is gone! I try to click on the file but when you say ok, an alert window pops up and says that the "theme service is not loaded" and to "turn it on in the Computer Management Administrative Tool in the Control Panel." How on earth do you do this? I cannot figure it out.
I have just rebooted my PC and it only has the Windows Classic theme. I think this might be because i have disabled something thru services.msc.Does anyone know which service i need to change to Automatic or Manual?
My Windows XP now had the Windows ME theme. I try changing it but does not work. The Windows XP option does not appear. Hre is what I did that might have affected it:
1) I downloaded The "Vista Transformation Pack" 2) I restarted my computer after installing. 3) It did not work, so I decided to uninstall i. 4) After that, I restarted my computer and the windows xp them was gone.

After doing some maintenance on my computer, simply removing old unused programs through the "add / remove programs" option in 'control panel', I lost my ability to have any XP based theme. While I was doing the cleanup a few programs asked me to restart or continue, I selected continue until I was done removing all of the programs that I no longer needed or used... Once I did restart it came back up and everything runs great, but No XP look
i was changing through the included XP themes - only something went wrong when i swaped to the blue theme every thing has gone black apart from a few icons, i cant see any text from windows applications or anything etc so i can't change back, i don't know what is open or closed or anything.
I have XPSP3 running on my computer and after cancelling a download of themes half way through(I know I shouldn't do that) I haven't been able to change my colours or theme. I have tried many methods from "Doug", a restore, but not yet a repair because I don't have an SP3 disk. I have copied the message I get here, any help would be appreciated thanks. An exception occurred while trying to run "C:Windowssystem32shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:WINDOWSsystem32desk.cpl",Display"
One out every five boots, my system starts up with what looks like a classic theme (win98) instead of xp. Sometimes I can switch the theme back to XP, sometimes I have tpo reboot several times to get that fix to work, and sometimes it boots up ok. I am running a pretty basic HP nx6110 laptop with windows XP pro, windows has been reloaded and updated with the latest patches, but this problem still persists.
sometimes after re-boot windows it changes my theme settings from classic > default... and its starting to drive me crazy.. never had this problem ever before on any of my systems.. but I now own a c2d 6600.. system properties > use visual styles on windows and buttons = OFF properties > themes = windows classic properties > apperance = windows classic style.
I have no way of restoring my default windows xp theme!let me first explain that i downloaded several custom themes for my computer and didnt care to revert back to the orignal theme until now. i recently downloaded a theme and have used it for a month but now i want to change it all back to my original xp theme and cant find a way to do it. windows xp theme is selectable in my theme tab but the only thing it will change is my wallpaper and the sounds. i still have the taskbar and windows and icons from the last theme i used! i checked to see if i had the luna theme in my windows folder and i did and i have looked through alot of google groups to find a solution and have almost tried them all. ive went and downloaded registry keys that are supposed to fix the problem but they havent.
I downloaded an msstyles theme for a recent XP install on my new HD. Unfortunately, the theme made everything black, except a few icons. I can't see anything in order to change it back. Fortunately, I still have a version of XP on my old HD and changed the boot order. The new HD with the screwed up theme is accessible in Windows explorer. How do I change the theme on that copy of Windows back to normal?
