After updates desktop freezes when trying to use xp style

[dave]

I installed the lastest windows updates'
Security Update for Windows XP (KB885836)
Critical Update for Windows XP (KB886185)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB885835)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB873339)

After I rebooted it started with windows classic stlye, when I try to
change to xp style the desktop freezes and I have to hit reset.I tried
uninstalling those updates but it didn't fix it.

Changing from classic to XP style affects the color scheme.
Rightclick center of screen and click Properties.
Click the Settings button and set the color scheme to Highest (32 bit)
Click Apply and OK
Now try to change to XP style again. If it didn't work, click the Advanced
button and under Item: set it to Desktop, click OK

I can change the color scheme, it seems the thing I cant change is the
windows and buttons style, when I select anything in the appearance/windows
and buttons drop down list then select apply it starts to change it then my
P.C just stops responding.

Well I got it fixed just incase anyone else has this problem.

I went to this site http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and
downloaded and applied the fixes on line 214 and 271 and now I can select xp
style windows and buttons
