To anyone who can help:
Thanks for the link to Kelly's site to help with xp visual style problems. I have used this site and the following "fixes" (164, 176, 187, 214, and 271) hoping for resolution. No such luck. Still stuck in classic view about 50% of the time.
I get the following error message when trying to load the luna style: "The visual style could not be reapplied. The service did not respond to the control request in a timely fashion". When I go check on the theme service it seems to be running properly, so this seems very strange to me.
All of this seems to have started shortly after I loaded up the latest version of Norton Systemworks (2004 version) on my new system. I am not sure that this has anything to do with the problem...perhaps there is a conflict between the Norton product and XP. Uninstall did not fix.
Any other suggestions or ideas.
Thanks.
