Insert your OS install disk and hit repair computer, and choose the partition it's on. If anything's missing or corrupt it will fix it. If it can't, it will do a system restore back to before it got screwed up.

well, you try to do a system restore if you have a restore point....also when ever you buy a comp...always make a backup disk.

I think I know how to fix this. i installed a theme on my vista but I had to do the uxtheme patch. First I need to know if you're using SP1. I'll provide you with the uxtheme.dll and the other .dlls to do this patch.

same here, in fact, it was yesterday for me

i was stuck with windows classic look, so i figured out how to do this, swapped them out manually, and now i am using custom themes and the originals :D

He can't log in...

Luke, if you can't log in like you said, go download a Live CD of Linux, any kind, and burn that. Boot into it and then download the unpatche uxtheme.dll and put it on your harddrive in the right folder for Vista.
