Have lost my XP Theme

[Dolf]

Hello Everybody,

I had installed Windows Xp on my system. When i tried to turn on my system, i saw a strange thing on my pc. I saw that there was no Xp theme on my system and it was looking, as it i was running Windows 98 on my pc. Even i tried to configure my desktop appearances, but it didn't worked for me. Can any body help me out to regain my Windows Xp theme on my pc? Any information on it would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Copy this folder "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes"from any of your friend's computer.

Actually if you copy only "Luna.theme" and "Luna" subfolder it would do. It'll bring back the Windows Xp default theme.

Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Themes. Set to Automatic. Also check your settings here:

Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Terminal Services/Log On. At the bottom ensure that Hardware Profile Original Configuration is Enabled.

If the above doesn't apply/nor help: Only windows Classic is listed under Appearance:

1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. On the Theme tab, choose the Windows XP.
3. If this option is missing, you may choose Browse to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme
4. The Luna.theme is the theme of the Windows XP.

If Luna.theme is missing: Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Expand Files: Luna.MS_ and Luna.TH_
