Show some pictures of the themes that are available.
Also have you tried a system restore.

I've had this happen after applying a patched theme using the UX theme patcher. If I remember right I had to restore the default theme from the command prompt.

Wow man it's been a long time since I did this. But I think I ended up copying the default theme file from a different computer running XP (located at C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes), put it on a jump drive, ran the commands blind, then rebooted. Because my problem was that I could not see anything because the visual style had become corrupted. Are you able to see anything?

I just ran a Google search and found a package that is supposed to restore the default XP themes. You could try it out and report back: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/RestoreXPthemes.shtml You'll probably need to reboot afterward.
