Friday, January 30, 2004 by StealthSoldier | Discussion: Stardock Software
Ok i installed WindowBlinds... but when i go to change the skin from my origanal XP look.. it just changes all the appearances back to the Windows Classic look.. and im not getting any WB changes..???? anyone know what is wrong?
I have a major LAN on Monday (2nd FEB 04) and would of liked it to be running by then. (
just to pull in those extra appearance points

I have the same problem if I click "Apply" in display properties. If I click "OK" it works. Weird... Also, I noticed on mine it reverts back to Windows Classic if I open the Control Panel.

I used to have that problem. I finally got so fed up with it and a number of other problems that I finally reformatted and reinstalled xp. I think it had something to do with me playing with services and systemfiles

It's usually caused by disabling the theme service whilst one of the default XP styles is running.
The fix is to start the service, switch the style to windows classic, then you can disable the theme service again without any problems.
