Visual styles auto-enables sporadicly?

Hi all,

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 on my laptop (Thinkpad T60p), with the

"Windows Classic"-theme. Every now and then when I boot the computer - I

have not yet figured out any pattern - something causes Windows to apply

the blueish WinXP look to windows and system taskbar.

When I open My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance Options, a

check mark has appeared at the "Use visual styles on windows and

buttons" option. When I clear the check box, everything is back to

normal, but a few days later its magically turned on again as i boot the

computer.

This is my third laptop running XP Pro SP2, and I have never met this

problem before. Does anyone have a clue what is going on here?

Thanks in advance!
