So, I changed a setting in system properties and XP decided it'd switch me back to the default "XP" theme instead of the "windows classic" theme. So, I changed it back to windows classic. As soon as it changed back, the OS stopped drawing anything except for the cursor, and icons. I can see the icons on the desktop, the icons on the start menu, and that's it. Everything else is black. No text, no menus, no windows, nothing.
Of course, safe mode doesn't help. I get 640x480 and a black desktop. WTF am I supposed to do with this now? Reinstall? POS XP.
