 The numbers before the services indicate the enabling sequence. The problem first appeared after I came to and enabled this Theme service + restart. This service makes the taskbar and all the windows look in Win XP Style. I again disabled this service and the problem was gone. Then I tried some more combinations like enabling all the services except the Themes one. And guess what? The problem did not appear. I then disabled all the services except the Themes one and the problem did NOT appear. Weird.
 
 One more discovery is that when I disabled all the non-microsoft services, the problem still appeared. Later I Disabled almost all microsoft services (excluding Themes) and left the non-microsoft services enabled. The problem appeared. And finally, I disabled all the non-microsoft services and left the few microsoft ones enabled. The problem did NOT occur.
 
 Here's a list of the services which I used in the second example - all non-microsoft and few microsoft. Again the numbers indicate the enabling sequence but doesn't make any sence because when the problem appeared the last enabled service was a non-microsoft one... I said before that the problem did occur while all of the non-microsoft services were disabled.
 
 
 Microsoft:
 5	Alerter
 6	Application Layer Gateway Service
 4	Event Log
 1	Remote procedure call (RPC) Locator
 2	Remote procedure call (RPC)
 3	Themes
 
 Non-microsoft:
 7	C-DillaSrv
 8	Creative Service for CDROM Access
 9	CryptKEy License
 10	NIVIDIA Driver Helper Service
 11	Trend NT Realtime service
 
 
 Now what? I'm lost again. Looks like the Themes service is in trouble but I'm sure it's not the causer of the problem because it's a microsoft service and it was running on this PC before the problem arrived.
