I have a problem. I go into My computer, then to control panel. I then try to open Desktop themes and nothing happens. Ive tried double click and right click open. Nothing.....Any ideas ?

Did you shut down the "themes" service in XP's services list?

Warning: It is a pig.

IIRC, 98 did not have a built-in theme manager. Do you have Plus installed? If not, I've got a nice little freeware program called Desktop Architect that manages themes nicely. You can download it here. Hope this helps.

go to control panel/ add remove programs/windows set up

check the desktop themes box

then toss the 98se cd in .

this gives you all the themes that came with 98se

or you can download others to add .
