Default Start Menu option missing from Taskbar & Start Menu properties screen

Properties: Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Taskbar
and Start Menu > Start Menu tab
===================

I recently upgraded from XP/SP2.. I had configured with a Classic
Start Menu style.
After I upgraded to Vista, I went to change the Start Menu type and
saw:
-- the Default Vista "Start Menu" option is GONE.
-- the ONLY option is "Classic Start Menu".

Certainly this isn't a showstopper .. but How can I get the Default
Windows Vista "Start Menu" option to (re)appear in TB & SM Properties
dialog so I can use it if I like?

NOTE: I only have the "Vista Upgrade", not the "Full Install" version.
I tried to reinstall the upgrade using the clean option but it said I
couldn't use the same KEY to install again. criminy, I haven't even
Registered it yet!!
I was even thinking about wiping the drive, reinstalling XP, then
upgrading again, making sure I had the Chrome or Green/Blue schema
enabled, NOT classic.

I also tried Vista Start Menu freeware program but can't get it to
show when I click the Start button. I made sure the "Replace Start
Menu" option was check and applied. VSM looks pretty cool but only
appears when click the icon in the system tray.

***Hope someone can help.. the blog-o-sphere seems mute on this
particular issue I'm having....***
