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?

Create a Windows Classic.theme file based on the contents below, and place it in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes:

Ok man, I've had the exact same problem you're describing, and I managed
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", and
then "T
rasnfer files and settings".
4. Choose "old computer", and then "other", and specify a place to
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 corrupt
them
e), and perform step 3 again.
8. This time choose "new computer", and then "other", and spesify the
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!!
