Cannot start with the Windows XP Theme.

[Guest]

I noticed that when I started my computer the desktop comes out only using the classic theme. I tried to change the Theme in the display properties but I found out in the Themes tab I have a black rectangle shown in the sample area and in the appearance tab the windows and buttons are greyed out with nothing shown. Also, I would like to note that I have removed any virus and worms on my system recently. Does anyone know of a solution? Thanks!

Slide the Hardware Acceration bar for the video card to "None" or something
like that to see if there is any difference.

I slid the Hardware Acceration bar for the video card to "None" and it didn't change anything but I did manage to get the windows and buttons in the appearance tab to be not greyed out by going to the kelly's korner site. Unforntunately, still in the windows and buttons of the appearance tab Windows XP Theme is not shown.
