Sounds odd. Which sort of policies do you have enabled? Are you using a
third party desktop enhancer? Are your display drivers up to date? Have
you enabled any Accessibitity options?

In the meantime:

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_
