Missing XP theme in theme dropdown

G

Guest

Was upgraded to Office 2003 but has plain gray borders; I had it at last firm
and overall look was blue which I believe was the XP theme. Under Display
Properties > Color scheme, Windows XP is not a choice. I'm thinking I'm
missing the XP Theme (Themes as a service is running) but can't seem to find
the download on www.microsoft.com

Any help would be appreciated.

Read the instructions at the top.

One of these ought to do it.

187. Restore Themes Functionality

187. Right hand side
Restore Luna Theme

214. Right hand side
Windows XP Style Changes to Windows Classic

271. Stuck in Classic View? Undo Now
-----

If XP Pro you can use Group Policy...
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | OK |

Navigate to >>>

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\
Force Classic Start Menu
Set to: Not Configured

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Desktop Themes\
Load a specific visual style file or force Windows Classic
Set to: Not Configured
