re-installing zorin.

I've had zorin for just over 5 months now and I've loved using it, I'm very pleased with it, but unfortunately something has gone wrong with a few key files that cannot be rectified, even with the terminal. My charger failed me during an update and since then I've not been able to install or update any programs or the OS itself.

So I've decided to start fresh with a new re-install, however I don't have access to disks or USB (which I used last time) to create a boot up disk/usb, the ones I have are far too small. Would is be safe to install from the control centre or will I have to wait until I can create a boot disk/usb?

I imagine you prevent a lot of head aches around here, great help solved the problem first try

However, something else I was wondering -- my girlfriend tried to install a new theme (something I wont even attempt besides new themes) and started with a third party Dock, however since messing around with the theme settings something quite unusual has happened, now whenever we open any programs it does not show up on the default dock, we've already got rid of the 3rd party dock but the problem didn't recede. Any way I can simply restore the theme/animations etc back to default "out of the box" so to speak without a loss of data? I miss when the start menu used to shatter into blocks

Hi,

open themes and then select the theme you currently have and then on "Default Settings", try that first and let us know if it helps!!.

You can also install Ubuntu Tweak to adjust themes settings:

(Download the correct version for your your current OS!!)
