    When I installed XP pro corp on my comp everything was fucked, It didnt have the xp style theme, it had the oldschool style. When I right clicked on the taskbar and picked toolbars->Quick launch it said could not perform operation or somethin along those lines. When I tried it open Gpedit.msc that was fucked up also, It opended but popped up like 5 errors. Is pro only meant for certain kinds of comps or somethin?! Now im stuck download this 2 DVD set with every windows version to date. Im just gonna use XP Home edition corp I guess. So what I did was just reinstall XP home from the cd that came with my comp. No activation needed I guess my only option for my new comp is to use xp home edition corp on it?

    Some of those "Every windows version to date" disks are a POS.

    If you wanted XP Pro Corp why didn't you find and dl that? It fits on a single cd, not 2 dvd's of corrupted crap. And it works on any pc that Home edition works on too.

    Sorry, I musunderstood, I thought you meant you installed XP Pro Corp from one of those "All Versions" disks.

    You should get exactly the same desktop theme after installation with XP Pro as you get with XP Home. Sounds like you got someone's personalised (pronounced "fucked up") version.

    There is no 'Home Edition Corp' version of Windows XP.
    There isn't a bargepole long enough for me to work on [a Sony Viao] - clocker 2008

    Chewie, I just checked one of my disc and there is a Home Corp. Ed.
    It has the Corp. files slipstreamed into the home edition, although I haven't tried it as I have no need for it.
