Error 1083, Windows 7 Theme Service won't start

[shawnf146]

I recently got a virus on my PC and managed to get rid of it. I was using TDSS killer and it somehow removed my svchost.exe -k netsvrs file from registry and I am almost positive this is why I cannot start it. Although I do not know how to fix it. I am running windows 7 ultimate x64. If anyone could give me some input on how I might fix this registry problem I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

Hey thanks for the quick answer and welcome . Well I tried the start up repair and it didn't fix it : /

It just is baffling to me that I really haven't found a solution yet

See if the file is existing under C:\windows\system32.
For me it's dated of 14-july-09 and the size is 27KB only.

Well I got it figured out, it turns out that it had deleted some data within the netsvcs file within the registry, all I had to do was add themes to the list and it automatically put in the binary data and bam its working now, thanks again though!

Hi! Happy for you that your problem is solved.. but heyy ... would you please elaborate on how you fixed that (or anyone else who know ) because i have got the same issue.

What happened was i alongside a virus also deleted the theme(or themeservice .. idk) and since then i am stuck at windows classic and have not found a single solution.

Help!!
