Re: xp original theme problem

on the restore section where there is the calendar, this will only give me
one restore point or date wich is today (the 13) then i selected the earlier
restore section , indeed it restarted and restored the computer. i
inmediately went to check the theme selection and the 'windows xp' was
selected but what i get is classic view ( my task bar, windows colors are in
the classic theme).
it is now as if i haven't done any restore since the only date i could
choose was today. is there other way to fix my problem? is this a major
problem that would require me to reinstall windows xp or can this be fixed?
