FOLLOW MY INSRUCTIONS FIRST!!
First right click on your taskbar (the thing with the start button)
Then go to the "start menu" tab on top of that screen
then check or press the dot where it says "start menu", if that is already checked then follow these instructions:
Press the Start button
Settings
Control Panel
System
--Then press the tab on top of that screen that says advanced
Then press thesetting button on that screen
Then pres adjust for best appearence and it will reform to the default Windows XP style...

Try going to the Themes section instead of Appearance, and choose WIndows XP theme on the dropdown menu.

The differnece between homestead windows 9x is that DOS replaced into the backbone of the working gadget and the graphical consumer interface replaced into an overlay. Now with XP, DOS has been made a seperate software. you may run this methodology yet you have some compatability problems. it is attainable to create a strictly DOS partition on your complicated stress to run those previous classes and video games.
