ok 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.
plus when i go to start>appearance and themes>change
computers theme>appearance i cant select any option to change the style
of my windows and buttons, its just greyed out. it got greyed out when
i downloaded one of these registry keys trying to fix my theme, before
that i was able to select windows classic only tho. im trying to tell
you as much as i can in order to pinpoint the problem but i dont kno
what to do. should i reinstall windows xp? i dont have the windows xp
cd cuz my computer is a dell and i think i just had windows xp
preinstalled in it.
i will tell you again the only thing that returned to default
was a change in my wallpaper (which i could do manually anytime) and my
sounds have changed. but everything else: the style of my windows, the
taskbar, icons for my folders internet and everything else is STILL
from my last theme. please someone help me. i am sorry for this long
post just need to make sure i didnt leave anything out, i dont want to
get the same responses that others have gotten for help on this cuz i
have read them all and tried them all.
thank you
