I fixed it!
I went to Run>msconfig.exe and found that there was a theme file in startup.
Worked like a charm.

I could reload it, but I'm trying to avoid that if possible. I'm trying to find if there's a registry tweak I can do to solve the problem, because I really don't have any other gripes as far as the configuration.

Do you know your way around windows pretty well? If you do, the first thing i do when i get a machine that is custom installed is uninstall EVERYTHING that THEY loaded on there. By the looks of it there is some custom software they loaded on there that is making sure that their theme is dominant on your system.

Hi, I have an Acer Ferrari 4005 laptop (I highly recommend!) and they loaded a default desktop theme in Windows. Problem is, every time I try to change the wallpaper or other settings in the theme, after I reboot, the default Ferrari theme loads up again.
Where are the settings for me to turn off this reloading of the Acer theme?
