Hi Lindsay,
Thank you for posing here.
From your description I conclude that you haven't installed the program
named "Microsoft Plus SuperPack for Windows XP". You may install it first
in order to use those themes.
If you didn't have one, you may get it from our site below:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/PlusHome.asp
Thank you for using MS Newsgroup.
Best regards,

| Hi Lindsay,
|
| If your previous XP installation was an upgrade, then yes it could have
been
| there. If not, then this was an add-on via the Plus CD which is a
purchase
