frogger Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 i tryd this but upon rebooting when i logged on it gave me an error message about uxtheme.dll not being a good copy or somethin like that, luckily, through the task manager i was able to change it back to the regular uxtheme.dll. I am very weary about trying it again. Could somebody give me instructions about waht i did wrong and how to fix it. Thnx in advance. -frogger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EYP0097 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I'd hate to sound like a complete beginner at this, but I'm lost with which .dll I have to get. I thought I had gotten the right one, but I get the error message the one guy was getting. Here's my windows info: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2_gdr.040517-1325 : Service Pack 1 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I speak english, I am from Pennsylvania. I can update it and everything, just not register. It is XP Professional, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 got all the latest updates installed ( sp2 final that is)? because i can't really tell the version from that sp2_gdr. i'm googling for it atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EYP0097 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 got all the latest updates instaleld (even sp2)? because i can't really tel lthe version from that sp2_gdr. i'm googling for it atm. 585007317[/snapback] Thats the thing, I tried SP2 when it had come out, but I had to re-install XP because it literally had my computer acting like it was a 233mHz processor. So no, I don't have it. I was hoping not to ever have it again. I have every possible update, excluding SP2, on this machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
