[help]default gui and startup problem

i have two questions...

first, my default theme seems to be changed to milkgloss (i think it happined when i used themechanger), and i was wondering how i can fix this.

second, when i boot up i get a grey screen with a folder with a question mark in it. then the folder changes to the finder smiley face, and then it boots to the throbber screen. why is this happening and what can i do to fix it?

What version of MacOSX are you using?

I think that question mark means the OS failed to load.

You might want to boot off your OSX cd. Option+C I think it is when at startup w/ the CD in the drive.

Looks like you have some file system issues.

Boot to your OS X install cd and then run the disk utility.

Repair permissions and check the file systems integrity. Then reselect the OS X system as the startup disk.

And why are you using Theme Changer? If you want stable theming you should be using ShapeShifter 2.

yeah it was a long time ago...after i used it once i downloaded shapeshifter...i was a mac n**b...

Edit: I fixed the bootup problem, but does anybody know how to get the default aqua theme back as my default theme?
