Not able to change theme in windows xp

[hvniranjan]

Hi

I've installed windows xp recently, worked fine for few weeks.
after that i installed Autopatcher and installed all the latest updated.
(Autopatcher : its an application where all the latest windows updates as collected and released : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoPatcher )

Downloaded and installed only the recommended updates for windows xp.
the issue here is windows works fine but everytime i logoff ir restart my computer it goes back to windows classic themes, i have tried creating a different user account issue remains same. i have tried downloading and installing different for windows xp, it shows up in themes list but when i select the them it loads windows classic theme.

Tried tried the links from kelleys korner, still the same, checked for themese services, its working

Wanted to know how to fix this issue, classic theme looks dull on my LCD monitor

Looking forward for responses
Thanks and Regards
Niranjan
