With WindowBlinds install you should have been able to open it and change back to Windows Media Center if that is the version of the OS you have.  I'm not familiar with tuneup styler 2009, what does it do?  It's possible that it is somehow conflicting with WindowBlinds.  Was it installed at the same time you had WindowBlinds installed?

Can you use system restore to go back to a date before you installed WindowBlinds?

Firstly 2 names

Norton Ghost

or

Acronis

Those two will solve the system no restore issue for future use tho you'll need to pay for them

tuneup utilities is nothing like windowblinds (wb ),an optomization program like tuneup could be the issue if it's set to run at startup since graphic candy isn't exactly optomizing your comp totally the opposite so check your settings in that first better still make it reset everything back to standard windows settings restart comp,then run ccleaner registry cleaner it's free & safe, i'd reinstall wb not forgetting to restart the comp then after the restart i'd set it to classic,uninstall wb restart comp then ccleaner perhaps another restart then use controlpanel-display-xp theme then see what happens

 

ps: microsoft has a free theme called zune, although the wallpaper is absolute crap the theme it's self is quite good you can pik it up over at downloads.com

no it definately isn't, But it could be expected that YOU would at least learn how to use the program to avoid problems like this cropping up :)

 

reinstall the trial version of windowblinds and use it to apply the default WMC theme again, then you can safely uninstall windowblinds.

You should be able to apply the Windows XP MCE theme through the actual Windows theme settings.  Whenever WindowBlinds is using the classic/XP/Aero theme, it is simply unloading itself and letting Windows once again handle the theming.  So, if you're seeing nothing but classic, try setting the theme through Windows.  Remember this relies on the Themes service, which must be enabled and set to automatically start.
