Hi,

Open C:\WINDOWS\resources\Themes folder and double-click "Windows Classic" theme file and click Apply. When does this error occur? While applying changes or while selecting the file?

change it to what its supposed to look like when you do
apply it

Ok man, I've had the exact same problem you're describing, and I manage
to
solve it. What you do is this:

1. Create a new user.
2. Log into this user.
3. Insert WinXP Setup CD, and choose "Perform additional tasks", an
then "T
rasnfer files and settings".
4. Choose "old computer", and then "other", and specify a place t
store (pr
eferably a different drive) your settings. Next.
5. Choose "settings only", and check the "let me select" box below.
6. remove all the settings except "display" - and back up.
7. Now log off, and log on with your old user (the one with the corrup
them
e), and perform step 3 again.
8. This time choose "new computer", and then "other", and spesify th
place
you saves your other user's setting, so you can back up from them.
9. Back 'em up.


You're done!!

You can erase the new user from the user settings in the control panel
and
get on with your work. let me know if it helped!
