Something happened to my XP home edition - it used to have XP buttons in the
upper right corner of the screen and now it has classic view and when I go
to desktop, properties, etc it is the windows them but for windows and
buttons, it allows me no choice other than classic. Any idea what happened?
 
Themes (Won't Load or only Windows Classic is listed)

Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Themes. Set to Automatic. Also
check your settings here:

Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Terminal Services/Log On. At the bottom
ensure that Hardware Profile Original Configuration is Enabled.

If the above doesn't apply/nor help: Only windows Classic is listed under
Appearance:

1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. On the Theme tab, choose the Windows XP.
3. If this option is missing, you may choose Browse... to
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme
4. The Luna.theme is the theme of the Windows XP.
 
Thank you so much for your detailed help. I did everything you advised, I
rebooted, but nothing changed. (I also changed admin/services/terminal/log
on to auto - before it was manual). Any other thoughts??
 
Hi Mark,

He didn't quote everything from my write-up. Here is the rest:

If Luna.theme is missing: Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Expand Files:
Luna.MS_ and Luna.TH_

Did you double click on 'luna.msstyles' ?

No, nothing worked. I tried Kelly's Taskbar Repair program and that too
didn't help. Any other ideas?
