XP Themes strange problem

[Butner]

Hi,

For some reason I cannot activate the XP themes at all and
I am stuck in classic mode. The error tells me to swith on
the themes service in the computer management program.
When I try to do that I get the error:

Could not start the Themes service on Local Computer.

Error 1083: The executable program that this service is
configured to run in does not implement the service.

I have read through others problems and have yet to see
this one. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance
