I had the basic themes for XP that everyone else does (classic, olive,
etc...) but something happened to my computer and now, it's on classic
windows theme (not the XP) and I can't get it to change. None of the other
themes are there anymore. Is there any way for me to get them back? A site to
download them? Anything, but this classic theme is just horrible. I feel like
I'm back in 1998

Have you used a Restore Point from System Restore back to when it was
working properly? That would be the easiest way.
