Hi Millslord,
That is showing us nothing. Darn it.
To double check. You cant change anything in display properties?
So you do shot1
Run Smitfraudfix
Do shot2
Press compare
And this is the result?
Restarting themes doesn't break display properties.
A friend is going to read this. I am not sure she'll have any ideas. IF she does, we'll take them.
Do you still have that disable active desktop script you downloaded nad used before? IF you do, try that to see if it fixes this before a reboot. And if after a reboot, you have the same problem again or not.
I keep thinking it is either the themes or your active desktop at the root of the problem. BUT smitfraud fixes the problem temporarily.

If we continue to get nowhere, I am going to suggest you uninstall Service Pack 2 and then do a repair install of Windows using your original install CD. Do yo have that? IF youy use a restore CD that is not the same. Let me know please. Then reapply Service Pack2 and Immediately go to Windows Update so that your updates can be reapplied.

My friend, a very respected Expert named Kimberly has suggested you try this from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
It's the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service
And will help to unload your user hive properly before the system shuts down.
Every single Regmon log you have sent, shows no restrictions. But smitfraudfix fixes until a reboot. Either, you are confused and creating logs when things work, or this is the strangest thing I have seen.
At any rate, this last will get your registry hive saved proerly at shutdown, if that is contributing to the problem.

shall I rerun smitfraud prior to trying this solution from Microsoft?

LOL that's good to hear!
Yes. Do run smitfraud. We want to be sure it's all working right before you try to shut down.
Let me know if that works.
Good luck.

Do you want to give me another day?
Let's see if we can track down your system file protection problem.
Please go to System32
Right click on sfc_OS.dll
Clcik on Properties. When the properties page appears, click the version tab.
What is the file version please?
