Alright...This is exactly what my computer does. I will be just surfing the web or chatting on msn. Then all of a sudden the windows xp theme briefly flashes back to the old windows theme and then back to xp. For some reason everytime that happens as soon as it happens... i cant do ANYTHING that has to deal with the internet. I cant pull up a web PAGE or sign back into msn. it does it every few minutes and everytime i have to restart the comp. Please help me because its driving me crazy.What happened before this started?
What protection do you have?This happens to me every now and then .... check your task bar settings ..... and make sure there not set to classic ...... mine are set to normal x-p but i do still get this every now and then have you but any chance done ctrl alt and DEL and ENDED a process

Tony well...i had an AVG virus protector...and i ran it and it had NOTHING....and i downloaded another virus protector ...i cant remember what it was called but it came up with nothing as well.....even after formatting it, it still does it.
