XPize Appears to have Screwed my computer

Hey, just wondering if there's anyone out there that can help me with this. I uninstalled XPize yesterday and then switched the XP theme back to 'classical.' However, it seems to me as if XPize deleted something to do with the classical theme... like all the images for the start panel, the wall paper, and everything else that's meant to be gray in the classic look - and upon uninstall it hasn't replaced all of these images.

SO this leads me to the problem. I have a computer, where everything on the screen is black except for a few icons. I am clicking on programs by blind luck, and the screen to change the XP theme back to it's default, is completely black, so I can't change it back. I've tried reinstalling XPize to try and fix the problem, but it also has very large sections of it covered in black, and I can't get the installer past a certain point.

Help, perhaps? Thanks in advance.

XPize is not deleting Classic Style related stuff. What images are you referring to? Try the restore point XPize creates for you or boot in safe mode and apply Classic style. Check your Themes service also.

Well, I have no idea what it did then, but I got it fixed. The problem appeared to be confined to my computer's profile, because all of the graphics loaded well enough when I restarted the computer in safe mode. I am of course bearing in mind that in the past my computer has had very odd issues with corrupting it's own profiles, and I have - on 2 occasions (now 3) - had to create a new administrator profile.

Anyways, the problem was fixed by restarting in safe mode and creating a new profile for myself, but at least I can actually see things. So anyways, yeah... I have no idea whether it was my fault or XPize's fault, but here's hoping that it was mine.
