    okay so i have a problem on my pc.

    im running windows se7en Rc Build 7100 on my dell xps 420.
    it is a good machine with a 8800gt 512mb graphics.

    it was working fine yesterday, but when i turned it on this morning the theme was set to windows classic with no aero peek or such.
    so i went to select the theme back to windows 7 but it was all blacked out and iu could click it. the same for all the aero themes.
    so then i downloaded a new theme, and tryin installing it but i got this:
    'this theme can'y be applied to the desktop.
    try clicking a different theme'

    whats wrong with it?
    i cant run a system restore as it says there is none?

    yesterday i installed enhance my se7en and smart defrag.
    i didnt do anything on the two apart from a system defrag and a disk clean up.

    but after this morning i unistalled the two but it didnt make a dif.

    please i need help fast!

    I assume you've tried System Restore?

    Ok that's no problem. Try creating a new user account and seeing if you can access those themes from there.

    it was the programme i was using' enhance my se7en'
    even though it was unistalled the settings still saved.
    i installed it again and visual aspects or something was set to minumum.
