Colours scheme has gone to all black!!! Help!

[Amphersand]

My pc has had a bit of a beny (not this one) Its decided to set my windows colour scheme to black, all black, the desktop pic, dialogue boxes, text, the lot! I cant read a thing, and so i cant navigate to the themes and appearance bit to set it back to default! Ive tried i promise! Ive also tried in safe mode, but the scheme is still aplied.

Can anyone give me any ideas of how to restart with the basic appearance?

Or go to an earlier restore point from start up? I cant navigate to the System Restore point, whilst its all black...

Its running xp sp2. Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers.

Try this...

I know that you can't see the taskbar to get to the command prompt, but you can hit the "Windows Key + r" (without quotes) then type in "cmd" and press "Enter" then you should be at the command prompt. Hopefully you can see that...

Cool, strange thing though. I would also scan for viruses now.
