434135 2006-02-26 22:17:00 A while ago I disabled themes on this computer (winXP proff) and I must have been ruthless when I did it because I cannot cet themes to work again.

I've reticked apply themes to windows and taskbar in visual effects under performance and nothing happens, I go back to the dialogue and the option is unticked again.
Of course I reenabled the theme service first.

Any ideas? I think I may have edited the registry following a guide I've since lost.

Anyhow, see tip 187

I would recommend keeping it disabled; it's quite a performance hog.
