I have windows xp home edition. I just installed service pack 3. Whenever I
reboot the computer, my desktop always goes back to the default windows
classic theme. I then have to re-apply all my display settings (even the
power mode settings) to have the desktop I want. However as soon as I shut
down and the reboot another time, the display settings again go back to the
default. As you might guess this is getting quite annoying! I thought it
might be spyware, a virus or malware, but I have scanned my computer with
many programmes and there is nothing wrong. Would this be a service pack 3
problem?

What can I do to stop this annoyance?

Thanking you in advance for any help offered.
