HELP Numerous applications fail to run at log in after logging off after installation of third-party theme and a system preferences change.
So I just got a new Dell XPS running Win7 home premium and I wanted to fool around a bit with it so I decided to try to change the theme to a third party download. I followed the instructions given to me which required me to "patch" windows so I did, there were 3 themes patches that I did and then I rebooted. Afterwards I followed the rest of the instructions but skipped the ones that replaced the system font. I added files to cursors, windows/resources/themes, and /media. I downloaded orb changers as well to change the start orb. I went to system preferces and applied the theme and then I also changed the display to make the window size larger. I logged off and when I tried to log back on, the screen was blue with a cursor. a notification window came up saying that explorer.exe failed to open. I tried using task manager but it also didn't start correctly. When I try to open boot options it continues rebooting then goes to a plain black screen. Help meeee
