Are you changing themes that you have created yourself, or themes that you have downloaded off the internet
OR, are you using WindowsBlinds?

Disable all your startup programs in System Configuration > Startup.
Disable all your (non Microsoft) services in System Configuration > Services
(do this by checking "Hide all Microsoft services" and clicking "disable all"
click "OK"
Reboot
See if you can now change the theme.

Is your machine capable of running the theme you are trying to run?

That doesn't mean it will work. What machine do you have, make/model?

sparky, now you made ME laugh so hard that the wife asked whether I am OK - of course, I had to tell her the whole scenario including our quotes - then she could not stop laughing.
