	I think I hosed my installation of XP under VMware Fusion 2. I tried messing around with 3rd party themes. The theme worked, but then when I tried switching back to the default windows theme, almost everything in the Windows GUI went black except for the icons. Can't see the mouse in Windows, can't see any text or menus, etc. But I can see various icons, depending on their color. This makes it extremely hard to do anything... I also can't figure out how to boot under safe mode in Windows under VMware Fusion on my MBP 13, as F8 doesn't do anything. Is there any easier way to fix this than reinstalling windows?
