About a month ago I downloaded and ran a program called cleanup.com in order to get rid a some spyware. The program worked fine but when I restarted the computer, the taskbar and start menu changed color. The normal color is deep blue with agreen start button with white letters. Now the TB and start buttom are GRAY with black letters. I have tried r clicking start and choosing properties. Under start there is an option to choose classic or start. Classic is not checked. Under taskbar there is option to choose, however, it does show the correct color. I have also gone to system properties and chose advanced. I checked the option which let windows choose what is best for the computer. The taskbar is still gray. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

check that the THEMES service is set to automatic and started.
