Hello,
I am on my XP machine. When I download something, open the Dropbox 'Preferences' window, and more, it will look like this:
No, I do not have the Classic theme on, I have full-graphics on (best appearance). Any idea why this is happening, and how I can fix it?
Thanks.

Then why does it only happen occasionally? Sometimes it looks like that, sometimes it doesn't.

Maybe if you try reinstalling the graphical drivers on your pc. That might work

Do you have any mods on your computer like make XP look like vista or anything like that?

Hey
When I was having Issues with my PC Tower a way back, it used to do this quite a lot, I dont know what causes it, but then PC Tower died, so i dont know, have you had a Virus Lately? or changed settings for another application?, It could be a Lot of things..

If the Themes service is stopped then the window will look like this.

@CodenStuff I had, but I don't know how to uninstall it. I don't THINK it is still installed, but it may be. How would I check?
@mandai How do I "start" it?

It might be worth running an SFC scan to see if the themes system is intact.
