843899 2009-12-28 20:59:00 Hi All,

On my grandmas computer, if I set it to the default windows theme, it always reverts back to classic. I tried putting the royale theme on, but it does the same thing. One strange thing is that if I try to reapply the royale theme it says "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale.THEME Access is denied"

Any Ideas?

843900 2009-12-28 21:14:00 Has it been scanned for malware recently? It maybe infected with something Speedy Gonzales (78)
843901 2009-12-28 23:45:00 She has AVG but I don't know if that scans for malware. Another strange thing is the royale theme in the preview box does not look how it should bot (15449)

Try downloading the theme again (www.softpedia.com)
Speedy Gonzales (78)
843905 2009-12-29 00:58:00 Well, downloaded and reinstalled the theme, restarted the computer, and it did the same thing - it returned to classic. However, royale and luna's access is now denied, and in the sample box, they are classic. bot (15449)
843906 2009-12-29 01:01:00 I am seriously considering that some setting in the registry is to blame. bot (15449)
843907 2009-12-29 01:26:00 Go to start/run, type services.msc. Go to the themes service. Is it running? If its on disabled, change it to automatic then restart / start the service. Then see if you can change the theme. Is this XP Home or Pro?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
843908 2009-12-29 21:29:00 The computer has been restarted, and I can change the theme now, and the themes service is running. It is XP Home. The theme is still not sticking bot (15449)
