SVP not working for me, please help

Hi forums. I recently built a new medium-high tier PC. My old laptop could not handle SVP at higher bit rates and resolutions, so I was really excited to be able to use it to its fullest on my new system. Unfortunately whenever I try to use it with MPC-HC the windows theme switches to Windows 7 Basic and the video playback become very distorted and is unwatchable. I do not know what is causing this as my laptop never had this problem only the problem that it did not possess the processing power capable of running SVP on higher settings. I tried re installing twice which has unfortunately yielded the same results. I tried installing the 64 bit version of MPC-HC, but then SVP does not recognize it and therefore does not work in conjunction with it. I really have no clue what could be causing this. If anyone knows how to solve this please let me know because I really like this project and would like to use it over standard VLC. Thank you
