"Could not start the Themes service on Local Computer.
Error 1083: The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service."
My computer no longer has the XP theme as an option under the properties > theme tab, and has reset itself back to windows classic. I do have the Luna theme installed however. I've tried patching my registry with the following 2 regedits from Kelly's corner:

I also tried using Kelly's taskbar fixer tool, and it came up with the following:
"Run-time error '-2147023813 (8007043b)'
Automation error
The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service."
I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!
