Can't Choose Theme

[Guest]

When I log in on my main account (the one that I created when I first started
Windows XP) and right-click the desktop, then choose 'properties', In the
'display properties' window, the 'Theme' tab isn't there. However, when I log
on to a Backup account I created just in case my main account messed up
majorly, the 'Theme' tab is there. Is there any way to fix this?

My computer is both virus and malware free. I went to that web site and
clicked on the file, but it said that it was in use by another program.

Is the file you DLed named restorealldisplaytabs.reg ?

If so I suspect you have other problems with your machine than tabs
not being displayed.
You say you aren't, but can you say categorically that you are not
infected, what did you do to determine this.

Did you select "Merge" or did you double-click?

 

[Guest]

I selected "Merge" then clicked 'run' on the dialogue box, but then it said
the file was in use by another program.

 

[Guest]

Yes, that is the name of the file I downloaded. I performed a full system
scan with my a-squard anti-malware software, and removed everything it found.
My definitions were up to date.

Anti Malware software isn't the same as Anti Virus software you need
both for total protection.
I would DL the following and run in safe mode after removing all temp
files

Sysclean http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
latest pattern files http://www.trendmicro.com/download/viruspattern.asp

Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

If you know how to create a bootable CD with the AV software above
included, I would even suggest using that method.

Nothing, really. I just logged on, decided to give it one more try, and it
worked. I don't know why it's just now decided to work, but I'm glad it did.
