Style XP hosed my PC

Post by bubba »

ok, put style XP on thought I might like it.

well I didn't, so I took it back off after a couple hours.

Uninstalled - rebooted - go to set it up the way I had it, back to windows classic. I noticed that the masive list of themes style xp put in are still there. Thinking to myself 'oh yeah that uninstalled right.. I figure out how to remove that later..' well I clicked on windows clasic and hit apply and then the sh*t hit the fan, screen goes black small icons all over and the start button is the blue apple logo. WTF :axe:

same way in safe mode, I can log into the admin ID that is still ok but I left it at the default XP theme I did change it, dont need that screwed up too.

Now how can I..

1. strip the extra themes out, fix the stock ones that should be there.
2. fix my ID, I dont what to have to dump the profile if I can help it.
3. find this weeks lotto numbers :mrgreen: .

I've used Style XP in the past, never had any problems with it. Sorry to hear about your situation.

If your OS is at least functional, maybe try reinstalling Style XP back on it and then see if you can select the original windows theme, or windows classic, or whatever.
