updated drivers and start menu and taskbar

[Guest]

hello,
i recently updated my drivers on my computer, when i turned on my
computer afterwards, i logged on and the start menu and task bar had been
changed to windows 2000 or older settings. i looked into changing the
settings, but the computer thinks that the settings are currently on version
XP. how can i change this to XP version instead of windows 2000 or older.
thanks in advance

Make sure that the Themes service is set to Automatic and running.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click Themes | Click the V next to Startup type |
Select Automatic | Click the Apply button | Click the Start button |
When the Themes service has started, click OK | Close Services

If that doesn't do it, visit here...

Luna.theme belongs in
