I forget what it's called, but it's that small app you can run that will let you apply any theme and not just Windows' standard XP theme. Well, either way, it's designed for SP1 or plain XP, not SP2, and running it ruined her XP theme, and now only Classic is available. When you select XP, it says "The visual styles could not be loaded because the file failed to load. Details: ", and then nothing follows after Details:.

Any way I can get this fixed without reinstalling the OS?

Run the SP2 version and see if it fixes it. Google for uxtheme patcher. Neowin has one that's pretty good.
