Visual Style problem by Weyzza on 11-05-2006 at 09:11 AM
I don't remember exactly what might cause it, but I hope someone knows what the problem is and how to fix it.
I tried to use a visual style this morning.
I used this patch and then played around with some styles, decided to use one of them, restarted the computer, took a shower, and sat at the computer only to find the style disappeared and replaced with the one like

right click my computer, advanced, Settings under performance
Tick everything (if you can) if they're not not already ticked.

1. I have reinstalled the patch.
2. I already got all checkboxes under performance ticked. (thanks for reminding me to check that 
3. Theme service is always running.
They didn't fix the problem.

I am "shure" (

But you could not change the visual style files location after the install
