HI, one of my colleagues installed a 3rd party theme on his desktop and after he uninstalled it, we cannot get back the default themes that come with Windows XP. He can only use the windows classic theme. Under the "themes" tab, we cannot even scroll down to chose a theme. it's stuck on classic. Is there any way to reinstall the original themes, like Luna?
 
Start > Run > Services.msc

Restart the "Theme" service.
 
Try going to Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Services, and make sure the Themes service is started and set to Automatic
 
There are several listed suggestions here that might help you.

Windows XP Theme Problems

HI all, thanks for the tips. I unfortunately haven't been able to try them out, because it's the CEO's laptop and is hard to get my hands on. I also have to fix the problem right away when i get my hands on it. Apparently the LUNA theme in the resource folder was totally missing. Does anyone know what could have caused this?
