Hello IsaiahFeldt and welcome to the forums

Let's try an SFC scan:

SFC Scan

1. Open your start menu and in the search box, type Command Prompt
2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each
   
   sfc /scannow
   
   Wait for this to finish before you continue
   
   copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt
4. This will create a file, cbs.txt on your [b]Desktop[b]. Please attach this to your next post.

Hello IsaiahFeldt,

Have you patched Windows to allow 3rd party themes?

Tom

Hello IsaiahFeldt,

Do you mind if we reset Windows to the default theme settings? You'll lose any customisations that you currently have. The reason I ask is that in your CBS log, a lot of files are showing as corrupt - but I don't know whether these were patched by you, or are actually corrupt, or maybe even both.

I'm going to be away until Sunday, so I won't be able to help you any further until then. If someone wants to carry on whilst I'm away then here's the files that need replacing:

I'm back Thanks for your patience.

You don't have to do anything, it will reset it back to the default theme (Aero) when we get to that stage. So you won't have to put up with the classic theme Until I find a better way to do it, we'll have to do this one file at a time, sorry!

Batch File

1. Go to Start > Run to bring up the run box
2. In the box, type notepad.exe and press OK to open Notepad
3. Copy (Ctrl+C) all of the text in the following box and paste (Ctrl+V) it into Notepad
   
   
   Code:

   ::tom982 SFC Batch File Creator 2012
   if not exist %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982 mkdir %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982
   icacls C:\Windows\System32\SndVolSSO.dll /save %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982\aclbackup
   takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\SndVolSSO.dll
   icacls C:\Windows\System32\SndVolSSO.dll /grant administrators:F
   ren C:\Windows\System32\SndVolSSO.dll *.bak
   copy C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-audio-volumecontrol_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_c813ea73049bcaf0\SndVolSSO.dll C:\Windows\System32\SndVolSSO.dll
   icacls C:\Windows\System32 /restore %SYSTEMDRIVE%\tom982\aclbackup
   sfc /scannow
   copy %SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\CBS.txt
   start notepad.exe %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\CBS.txt

4. Go to File > Save As... and save it to your Desktop named fix.bat. Make sure you change the Save as type to All Files (*.*)
5. Locate fix.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it

Tom

Sorry, my bad. I put two sets of instructions together for that post and must have clipped the last lines from it.

Copy and paste the contents of CBS.txt into your next post please Or, if that fails, attach the file to your post - it's found on your desktop under the same name.
