My Board

So I haven't changed my Windows XP theme in a really long time and I saw a theme that looked nice. I installed it, tried to use it and I got an error and it said the following:

[quote name='error message']The visual styles could not be loaded. The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.[/quote]

And when it tries to generate a preview of it, it's not there, at all.

Does anyone know how I can solve this issue? I'm going to try a reboot and if that doesn't fix it I won't delete this thread /blum.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

Thanks in advanced,

Have you tried to patch your Windows so that it allows dynamic themes to be loaded?

So apparently a reboot just fixed it... I'm not sure why, but what ev lol. So I guess we'll lock this topic, thanks for the attempt of help NightStorm /blum.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> Just for it, here is some cookies. /cookie7ql.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(kobra)' /> /balamm_guarding_the_cookie_jar.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(jar)' />
