the old one is way better.. but anyways.. go to control panel, system,
performance, display click 'adjust for best apearance' and voila. if no
dice then go to control panel/display and under one of those tabs you
can change to the xp theme.

Flamer.

I tried them all it is still stuck in classic.

One other thought.. A Customized setting under Start Menu properties,
Start Menu tab, Classic, Customize may need to be deselected before you
can change over to "Start menu". De-select all options in Classic menu,
restart, then try to switch over. Just an idea.. shot-in-the-dark..
