Office Display problem

[Matt]

Does Office have Themes or skins support????????

I have spent the last several days reinstalling everything on my desktop and
laptop. Everything was going fine, until a few minutes ago, when I went to
do something in Outlook on my laptop. I opened outlook, and the display
properties had changed so that now my Outlook looked like it was using a
Windows 2000 theme (the colors and shapes of the toolbars, menus, titlebars
and icons, etc.) It still has all of the 2007 functionality, and ribbons,
but instead of the current smothed edges, and current 2007 icons, etc,
everything looked like a very old install (maybe Office XP, or even earlier)

This happened on my laptop only, my desktop is still fine, and, I have been
very careful to have all of the settings (as I'm installing everything) be
identical on the 2 machines. Even when I make a change to anything on either
machine, I have been making the same change to the other machine before I go
on. What happened????????

No - at least not yet.

Didn't think so, and I didn't really expect that that was the problem, but I
had no other way to describe it. Any thoughts as to what might be causing
the problem then?????

No - at least not yet.

Any chance you could do a system restore?
