Themes Service in Vista not working and won't start.
Ok, so I, stupidly, installed VistaOSX 9, a little theme/program that makes your Vista PC look like Mac OS X. This thing seems to have done something to my themes files, and now the Themes Service won't start, so I can't go back to Aero, and I'm stuck with Windows Classic...which completely sucks. When I open up Services, and try to start the Themes service, a dialog box appears and reads: Windows could not start the Themes service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

Does anyone know the file it's speaking of?

I've checked the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes folder for anything that might be out of place, but because I've never worked with Themes stuff before, I have no clue what should be there and what shouldn't.

Specs & Such -
Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
1.00 GB Memory
AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58
150-Gig Hardrive
ATI Radeon X1200
