Microsoft has released a new update "KB933928" for Windows Vista, which is causing this problem. But it only occurs if u r using 3rd party themes and hv patched the files to use those 3rd party themes.

just check up : system propertise > performance options > check let windows choose blah blah > apply > ok. also ensure themes service is (running) set on 'automatic'. reboot.

No need to uninstall that update. Goto that 3rd party theme folder and open "en-US" folder and u'll get a file "Aero.msstyles.mui". Rename it to "theme_name.msstyles.mui".

e.g. if ur theme name is "blackberry", then filename should be "blackberry.msstyles.mui".
