Taskbar stuck in classic view

[Guest]

Hello!

My taskbar is stuck in the classic view. There are no other options when
you try to change it. Any idea how to fix this?

Thank you!

Michelle,

Is the Themes services running? Type Services.msc in Start/Run and
double-click Themes. Set it's startup type to Automatic, and then start the
service. If the Service is already started, then close the Services applet.
Right-click Desktop, and choose Properties. In the themes drop-down, select
Windows XP. Click Apply, and then click OK.

Curious - Familiar with Classic start menu; Classic control panel view;
Classic windows folder view - but exactly what is "Taskbar classic view"?
