I hope this is an easy one for you, cause I can't figure it out :) I am not sure when this started, but here goes... When I make changes in Control Panel for things like screen savers, themes, etc, I can apply them and they will stay in place UNTILyou reboot. Then the settings revert to what you had BEFORE you changed them. Any idea what is going on?

You don't say what is your OS and if you are in a network enviroment.
This sounds like a policy or a mandatory profile which don't allow you to save changes for next session.

This system is running Win98 on a combined Novell/NT network. We do have Altiris software, but as far as I know, we have been able to make changes in the past and haven't been notified that the desktops are being locked down. Other PCs can save their settings.
