I have the same problem if I click "Apply" in display properties. If I click "OK" it works. Weird... Also, I noticed on mine it reverts back to Windows Classic if I open the Control Panel.

I used to have that problem. I finally got so fed up with it and a number of other problems that I finally reformatted and reinstalled xp. I think it had something to do with me playing with services and systemfiles

It's usually caused by disabling the theme service whilst one of the default XP styles is running.
The fix is to start the service, switch the style to windows classic, then you can disable the theme service again without any problems.
