Themes not starting

[soundsgood2me]

something happened which made my taskbar, at the bottom, turn grey kinda like
Windows2000. I want to get it back to the colorful, normal XP theme with the
round, not square, green Start button.

I still have my desktop picture. I can change themes. I tried starting and
stopping the "Themes" service, but it does not restore the color on the
taskbar at the bottom. Anybody have any ideas?
