8830 - can't open options menu

I changed the theme on my BB 8830, but now whenever I click the Options menu it freezes and I have to hit End to be able to do anything.  It seems like all the other applications will open, but Options won't so I can't change the theme back.  I tried turning it off and back on, but that didn't help.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try a battery pull for a soft reset: remove the battery from the device (while it is still powered on) for 10-20 seconds, then reinsert the battery.

Apparently, you did not receive my first reply. In any event, you can fix your problem as follows: turn off your Blackberry, take out the battery, wait a few seconds, replace the battery, and turn your Blackberry back on. You should now be able to open options. I called technical support, and she did not know what I was talking about. I figured it out myself. Ciao.
