Try going into your /windows/resource/ folder and finding the theme and opening it manually.. for some reason I also had this problem and although I couldn't select it from the list of themes via the display properties box, it worked fine if I simply applied it via the file itself.

(http://img217.echo.cx/img217/441/desktopmay057zj.jpg)

Windoze XP classic theme - I hate the blue/green/silver themes, and this is about as unobtrusive as I can get at the moment. I'm looking for an OS X-style applications dock thingy to replace the taskbar at the moment, so it's likely to change shortly.

Other wallpapers include various landscapes, portraits, vehicles etc. Depends what kind of mood I'm in, so it changes a lot...
