Need original termsrv.dll (64-bit) - accidentally overwrote backup


Recommended Posts

I was messing around trying to get some Remote Desktop functionality w/ my Vista Home Premium 64-bit installation, and I failed.

I also accidentally overwrote my original termsrv.dll because I neglected to put it in a safe spot.

Now, if I try to start terminal services, various things fail... I think I need to replace the file with the original to fix whatever I've broken.

Can someone help me out by providing an original? Is there a way to extract the original file off of the DVD?

Thanks a lot!

Could you not just take it from you're install CD?

// Edit: Ooops sorry, missed the bit asking how to get it from the DVD. There is a way, it's fairly easy with the XP CD however no idea with Vista as I don't use it. Sorry.

I did the EXACT same thing with Vista Home Premium. I was messing around trying to get remote desktop and now my xbox 360 will not connect. Did you figure out how to get it back to the original setup?

Replace it with an original Home Premium one?

Gangsta, do you have the Vista Ultimate 64 bit

If yes, do you mind emailing me the c:\Windows\system32\termsrv.dll

file to

panghel@live.com

By mistake, I overwritten mine. There is a way to recover it form the DVD but requires installation of the Automated Kit - about 1 GB

Thnaks for your help

Thanks a million for providing this termsrv file..have been seeking it for ages. Mine was corrupted, preventing any use of remote desktop and other relevant services....had no way to get it back short of a fresh install, which would have resulted in loss of all impt data.

 

THANK YOU!!!

    • Microsoft accidentally replaced Windows 11 startup sound with one from Vista by Taras Buria The recently released Windows 11 Dev and Beta builds introduced some welcome changes and improvements. However, those preview builds are not flawless and have a pretty long list of known issues. One of those issues, though, is a rather delightful one: Windows 11's default startup jingle has been accidentally replaced with one from 2006. After Windows Insiders discovered that Windows 11 now plays the Windows Vista startup sound and reported it to Microsoft, the company acknowledged it and added it to the list of known bugs in the latest Windows 11 Dev and Beta builds: This week’s flight comes with a delightful blast from the past and will play the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. We’re working on a fix. Although Windows Vista is nearly two decades old, it was brought to everyone's attention this week after Apple introduced macOS 26 Tahoe with its controversial "Liquid Glass" redesign, which many consider a rather miserable remix of Windows Aero from Windows Vista and Windows 7. While it is definitely an interesting coincidence, Microsoft did not intentionally replace the startup sound in Windows 11 preview builds. Brandon LeBlanc from the Windows Insider team confirmed in his X that that is a bug after joking about everyone talking about Windows Vista once again in light of Apple's latest announcements: It is worth noting that if you miss the startup sound of Windows Vista, you can still use it in modern Windows versions. All it takes is the original WAV file and a few clicks in the Windows Registry and Sound settings. And for those who want a shot of nostalgia, here is the sound of Windows Vista startup: What startup jingle do you like more: Windows Vista or Windows 11? Share your thoughts in the comments.
    • I refused at $70, $60 was cutting it close for me and I only bought one game at that price, CP2077.
    • Markets are always a follow the leader type of place so to speak. MS didn't raise prices first, but after everyone else did, they will to. Besides, at least they're doing other pro-consumer moves like Play Anywhere. In this case, you can think of it as $80 for 2 copies (console and PC) while Sony and Nintendo would just charge you for both, so $160. Regardless who does it, $80 is too much, even $70 is IMO. Lots of games still come out at $50 and sell well, even if your budget is higher, at $50 the odds are you'll sell more copies and just make it up on volume.
    • How about letting us do an in place upgrade from recovery that would be amazing.
    • From an actual owner (ME) this does not work even remotely good at low speeds.
