    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
  • How do I do that, please?
    Thank you.

  • Ok, I figured out what to do but it didn't turn it back into vista. It comes up with this error message: "the visual styles could not be applied. access denied."

    oops...forgot you were on vista...are you logging in as an administrator ?? this machine is on xp so can't check directly where to find stuff at the moment..



    edit: can you right-click on an empty part of your desktop and select properties and change it back to vista from there ???

    think it may be time to do a system restore, unless someone out there knows how to get over this issue :confused:

    As Jack asked, are you logged in as admin?
    :idea:
  • Yes I am. :/
    Is there any way of getting another, more "updated" style than 2000? There's no XP option.
