Got a virus, fixed it, now my windows is stuck in the classic skin and won't connect to the internet

So I got the AntiSpyware Soft virus/spam/whatever it's considered

recently because I was an idiot and left my computer on for a week while

I was out of town with out my firewall on. I wrestled with it for a

while, but I finally got rid of it. Last night my computer was working

just fine, internet and all, in the XP Silver skin. This morning

however, my computer is taking for ever to load up, and when it finally

does it's stuck in the windows classic scheme and my computer is stuck

in acquiring the address when trying to connect to my internet through

my router. Every other computer in my house can get on the net but my

desktop. I've ran Malwarebytes several times and it's not finding

anything, and from what I can tell my HiJackThis log seems alright. I'm

a little worried that removing the bug corrupted my windows some how.

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 with the AntiWPA activation crack,

(Please spare me the 'you should buy the actual windows' BS please.)

with an Intel Core2 Duo 3Ghz processor, and 3.25Gigs of RAM on an MSI

motherboard (can't remember the actual model atm.)

I really don't know what else to do, so any help at all is very much

appreciated. I don't want to reinstall windows, but if nothing better

turns up looks like I'm going to. Thank you all for your help.
