How to enable xp theme?

[annabel]

I nLited my xp cd without removing theme service, and the system is installed sucessfully and running well, but I cannot enable xp theme.

I started theme service from service manager and select luna theme to apply but the error kept saying that the theme service wasn't started...

Though actually I don't need this, my friends just like it and I'd like to find out why and how.

e^^^^^^^

After several tests, I found that if I let "Classic Theme" unchecked and "classic logon screen" unchecked, the xp theme will apply.

Still I don't understand why I can't make it work through starting theme service, and the error was telling me that the service is not started. Is there some secret reg switches can affect theme service? I don't see any dependency of this service.

Oh... We really need a rest.
