The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DESKTHEMEPACK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DESKTHEMEPACK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DESKTHEMEPACK file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DESKTHEMEPACK file corruption.

This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DESKTHEMEPACK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DESKTHEMEPACK file again. However, some background programs may block the DESKTHEMEPACK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
