re: Windows XP Problems Sunday, November 18, 2001 at 5:29 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dick (41 messages posted) I installed XP over 98, and have a HP Pavillion with 600 hard drive, 256 ram, and 30 gig hard drive. What drove me nuts was the theme or desktop kept changing on me. No matter what changes I made and tried to keep different (XP) themes kept coming back, and the colors were extremely unpleasant. If you can help or make suggestions I will consider reloading XP. Until them I am back to 98. Thanks, Dick On Friday, November 16, 2001 at 9:05 pm, Todd wrote: >I don't understand it.
