you can 'override' xp's default settings though, so to get the themes working, but I rekon if they aint there then its cos ur machine aint good enough to use them, so do this at your own risk...


Click Start

Right-Click 'My Computer', and then click Properties

When 'System Properties' opens, click the 'Advanced' tab

In there, click the 'Settings' button under the 'Performance' section (top one of the 3)

When the new little window comes up with loads of check boxes, scroll to the bottom of the list, and put a tick in 'Use visual styles on windows and buttons'

Click Apply, Ok, and then Ok again

You should now be able to select different Themes in the Display Properties

You could also mess about with the other Visual settings in System Properties (all the Check boxes), but I warn ya know, if your machine can't handle it, then it will just run like a 1.2 8v Corsa!
