i've recently tried various softwares to help change the look of my pc like the taskbar log ons etc. and i downloaded 1 which made ure pc look like windows vista... it didnt work and it seems to hav stuffed up my Luna theme. when i select it it comes up with an error that says:

The theme could not be loaded becasue the theme service is not working. You can turn this service on in the Computer Management Administrative Tool in the Control Panel

File: C\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme

does any 1 know how i can fix this coz "classic xp" is really ugly. thanks its also changed my C drive icon, does any 1 know how to fix all of this thanks

well i may have a solution but it's probably costly... my friend bought Tuneup Utilities 2006 and i just went to the link n typed in his serial number n now i have the program on my comp... but that was a while back and i dont have the code any more

with this program u can change the desk top by d/ling themes, change the windows starter-up screen and u can also manage files on it. it also gets rid of temp files and creates more room for misused memory.
i havent had a problem with this program yet, but i highly doubt there will be any in the future...well good luck

cheers

When you turn on a theme using Windows Blinds, it usually changes your icons.

Well, there is a trial of a program called StyleXP which has some cool features, it can change your bootscreen, login, icons and lots more. Get it at http://www.tgtsoft.com[/url]

If you use powertoys for MS tweakUI you can repair those broken icons,like the c:drive.

At the bottom in tweak UI is an option for repair.
