WIN XP Pro Problem

Hey guys and gals,

I have a major problem with one of my computers. Last night I got on and booted it up, everything went fine, it goes to the desktop and rather it being the windows xp theme it has a windows 98 theme, so I thought ok no problem I will just go to properties and change it. I go to properties and there is no win xp theme. So I go to open up a web browser to search what the problem might be and nothing comes up. I go to network connections, and all of my network connections are gone! I go to device manager to check if my NIC card is disabled and absolutely nothing comes up! I just reinstalled windows and after a couple of reboots, the problem returns. I am completely stumped on this one as I have never had this problem b4, and I reguralry scan it for viruses and the lot. Any and all help would be great.

*Tried starting in safe mode to no avail.

Specs are
Intel P4 3.0Ghz
Win XP Pro
2 GB pf DDR 400; One 1g stick of Samsung and One 1g stick of SuperTalent
Western Digital 80G IDE HDD
Leadtek 7800 GS

Creative Sound Blaster Live 24 bit
Aspire 500 Watt PSU
