Theme made whole desktop black

[John R.]

I changed my theme to Windows Classic and now most of the
desktop is black (I can see some of the desktop icons).
When I right mouse click I can't see the pop-up window to
change back. I can log on as diffferent user, but I would
like to get the other user's desktop working. Thanks

Can you get to the Control Panel? Display has an icon there you could
double-click.

Something you might try when right-clicking the desktop is to press
the tab button, which is the keyboard method of selecting and
highlighting areas. It *might* bring a little light into the
situation. If it makes the theme box visible, then change to anything
else and enter.

If other options fail, try system restore.
start \ programs \ accessories \ system tools.
Choose the most recent point before this problem began.

Please post back how this comes out.

Thanks, I was able to figure out where to click "in the
dark" by compairing with another logged on screen.
