[whiteblood]

someone had the same problem that i am having except he chose to fix it his own way so i was unable to fix my problem

here is what he said
http://www.geekstogo...showtopic=39453

my problem - i am stuck in the ugly and square windows classic appearance probably due to some anti-spyware programs that got rid of the file or something, there have been many other complaints of this same problem throughout the internet

i ran the look.bat just like you told the other guy to do
here is what i came up with




Volume in drive E is DSK1_VOL2
Volume Serial Number is 8D2A-2C20

Directory of E:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna

07/21/2005 10:45 PM <DIR> .
07/21/2005 10:45 PM <DIR> ..
06/12/2005 10:40 AM <DIR> Shell
0 File(s) 0 bytes

Directory of E:\Documents and Settings\Bob\Desktop




i hope you can figure something out for me
thanks,
zak

Welcome whiteblood to Geeks to Go!

To restore this and set it back to XP-theme, rightclick on your desktop > properties > tab Appearances and choose Windows XP style again under windows and buttons.
Click apply and OK.

If that doesn't do the trick, do this:

Download XP Styles by Miekemoes.

Unzip it and MOVE the luna.msstyles which is present in that folder you unzipped to next folder: C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna
Don't move it to anywhere else than that folder!

When moved it there, rightclick on your desktop > properties ... and look if Windows XPstyle is now present again. Choose apply and OK.

If not, reboot first, and try again to select Windows XPstyle

Let me know if this solved the issue.

[whiteblood]

no that did not do the trick

i only have the one selection under the "Windows and Buttons" tab and that is "Windows Classic style"

i moved the luna file to that folder and then checked the tab and there was still that one selection, i restarted the computer and checked it again and im still having the same problem

ill attach a screenshot and maybe that will help

• Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

  Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources
  
  
• Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
  
  
• Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
