Theming Error

**Cody** · February 15th, 2002, 11:52 PM

Whenever I try to apply a theme, whether it be from StyleXP, or from the Display Properties panel, I get this error:

The Visual Styles could not be applied. Unspecified Error.

What can I do?

anyone? (how come my topics almost never get replies?)

This is a sympathy post, i know nothing about styles in XP, soz.

Well, thank you....

If I get 2 more posts, it will be the most I have ever gotten in response to one of my problems...

Make me reluctant to work my way up to 1000+ posts.

well, from more than one person :P

Thanks though.

Maybe someone will pay attention now that it has more than 1 post.

Hey Cody,

don't really know what your problem is but I have given up on themes for the moment because my task bar always ends looking like a through back to win95 and it aint pretty.

Wich theme do you want to apply? Is it a standard WinXP theme, or is it a downloaded one?

Uninstall TGTSoft StyleXP and try this...

To be fair is was so long ago that I can't really remember. Everything worked fine save for the task bar. Possible tried a few visual styles I downloaded too.

Will try again when I can be bothered as I'm a little lazy at the moment and have many things to do on this rig.

Well, that's what I think started it (when I tried to use that).

I botched some other stuff up trying to remove CYDoor (let just say never delete any .dll's that have NT, Windows, or System in their name) so I did a reinstall...

As to whether I will be reinstalling StyleXP... Probably not.
