    Installing a file from system to control panel
    I have a "garage sale computer" that is running win2000pro.I don't have the soft ware but I do have the key code.I've worked my way around most of the previous owners administration barriers,but Ican't get the computer to install the themes file from system.Now the Question.Is there a way to reinstall the file with out the original software?

    Do you have the model of the computer?

    Do you possibly have access to a windows xp installation disk?

    You could install xp from scratch unless would like to stay with 2000
