Display Properties pops back to XP style

Hello!

I just got a totally new system built for me. Still using my old XP home
disk,
with XP2 installed.

I am having a noticable problem with this new setup.
Every time I reboot, the new theme that I added in "Display Properties"
reverts back to the standard "XP Stlye" (which I hate btw). Then I have to
click on my saved theme file, it reloads till the next time I reboot. Is
there any way to 'lock' this theme in?

Thanks.
 
Hi Patti,
=Try this, Opena run command and type:
services.msc click [OK] there scroll down to Theme and double click it on
the Start up click Auto.
= Right Click on the Desktop and select properties, on the Dispaly
properties click Appearnce Tab and change to what style you want.

I finally found what was causing the problem. It was not what you had
suggested, Nass, but thanks anyway!
The problem was in the performance tab -visual effects. The "use visual
styes on windows and buttons" was checked, so every time I shut down, it
loaded up :)
