One of my computers has a corrupt display properties dialogue
box.  The user prefers the windows classic theme, but the
computer is WinXP SP2.  Here is a screenshot of the dialogue box:

The tabs for screensaver, desktop etc are all missing.

He had this problem once before, but we were able to fix it by
doing a system restore.  But since then he got this "blackster"
bug screensaver malware and during the removal process system
restore was disabled.

I'm not sure whether this problem is related to the malware or
not.  Could well be, because it was associated with the
screensaver etc.

Any ideas on how to fix it, other than a complete reinstall?
Is there some files or dlls etc we can copy from another
workstation that will correct it?
