Thanks for the help.

Default and classic actually work. Here’s the comments.php text:

<?php // Do not delete these lines
	if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

        if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
            if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
				?>

				<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.<p>

				<?php
				return;
            }
        }

		/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
		$oddcomment = 'alt';
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>
	<h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Comments', 'One Comment', '% Comments' );?></h3> 

	<ol class="commentlist">

	<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

		<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
			<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>

	-->

			<?php comment_text() ?>

		</li>

	<?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
		if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
		else $oddcomment = 'alt';
	?>

	<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

	</ol>
