Then the APPEARANCE tab and looked at WINDOWS AND BUTTONS. I looked at the scrool down menu and all I saw was the one i had right now.(Windows Classic Style). Dose anyone know hot to get my other options back or dose anyone know where to download these again. PLEASE HELP!!!

I guess English is not your native language, bigbeef.

pop out tool bars - Do you mean pop-up windows in Internet Explorer?

Anyway, try selecting 'Windows Classic Style', and clicking [Apply] or [OK]

Also please let us know which Operating System you are using (Windows XP, WIndows 2000, Windows 98 etc..)

Luna is the 'nice' look, that is unique to Windows XP.

If you are trying to enable the windows XP look, do this:
1. Click Start
2. Click 'Run'
3. Type 'services.msc' (without quotes) and press enter
4. In the long list that appears, look for an entry called 'Themes' and double click it.
5. Look for 'Startup Type' in the window that appears, and make sure that it's set to 'Automatic'
6. Under 'Service Status', click 'Start' (if possible, orelse just leave it.)

If you DON'T want the windows XP look, and neither the 'Classic' look, install an external theme manager. Here are some:
StyleXP [http://www.tgtsoft.com/download.php]
WindowBlinds [http://www.download.com/WindowBlinds/3000-2326_4-10026826.html]
None of these are free, though. There may be freeware alternatives available, but I don't know of any.
