Crap. I think this is malware.
First, my theme got changed to Windows 98 (I'm on Windows 7) but I said "eh, screw it, I don't care that much if all of my windows have a grey border. I can still have my rotating wallpapers and everything, so whatever. This problem had been talked about online before, but no one had found a solution. Well, now, the System Event Notification Service won't start on boot, which means you can't log into any account except Administrator. Now, this is where my problem gets serious. If you can't log into normal user accounts, that could be a very dangerous problem on a large, shared system. This makes me think that it's malware. So, now I have to somehow get my hands on a Windows 7 disk, and use the Upgrade utility to fix my OS. Shit. The only reason this is a problem? I have a pirated version of Windows 7, so I have no CD. Again, normally no problem, except my CD drive is unplugged, because I only have two SATA cables, and I wanted to plug in two HDDs instead of an HDD and a CD drive lol. So, now I have to go through the whole effort of pirating the Windows 7 Ultimate CD AGAIN, and then mounting it virtually using Alcohol 120% (A Virtual Drive program) and then finally run the Upgrade utility. That is, if you can even run the upgrade utility off of a virtual drive.

So anyway, what are you guys up to on this fine Sunday night? I was sitting in plug.dj for six and a half hours, active the whole time DJing and stuff on the Dubstep Den. It was really fun, and I made friends with a ton of the people there.

Is that all that happened? Because sometimes Windows 7 changes to the Classic theme by itself in order to preserve system resources as the Aero Theme consumes more memory.

The aero themes are unclickable, nd all accounts besides admin have been disabled lol

That can't be good. A family member had a virus where all the user accounts had no admin privileges and couldn't uninstall anything or do anything to remove the virus. D:
