Hi,

I can't start the service "Themes" anymore. Everytime I get a message
"Service 'Themes' on 'Local Computer' could not be started. Error 1058
[...]".

The service is not deactivated, there are no dependencies, all files
seem to be on place (e. g. themeui.dll et al.)

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Thorsten

Hi George,

the HW profile is activated, but still it doesn't work. I also
actualized the registry entries to reactivate the Luna theme. The
service still cannot be started.
