XP by default doesn't allow for third-party themes. You need to patch a file within your WINDOWS directory. I've attached a file called uxtheme.dll in my post as a zip. Download it and extract it to your C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory. Reboot your machine.
I get my themes from <a href="http://browse.deviantart.com/skins/windows/visualstyle/?view=1&order=9&limit=24">deviantART</a>. I would stay away from http://www.themexp.org/ since they like to bundle their themes with other software.
