[kkenshinz]

Hi, im using vista sp2 and ive done this,


1. Login as a user with Administrative privileges -or- have Administrative credentials ready (check under the keyboard for a slip of paper).
2. Navigate to windows\System32
3. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.
4. Take ownership of the file and close dialogs.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll
6. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.
7. Give yourself (or group) Full Control permissions and close dialogs.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll.
9. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old.
10. Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old.
11. Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old.
12. Copy patched files into %systemroot%\System32
13. Reboot (yes, this is really required)
14. Enjoy!


But i did not copy the new uxtheme.old file over i just renamed it and now my computer cant even load to the desktop page?

thx u but does loading from vista disk mean reformatting?

 

[LordOfLA]

no, just put the dvd in, boot and choose the command prompt option in the recovery section of the installer

zzz im still stuck with this. Im using the recovery disk. Is it the same as the vista dvd because i have 3 seperate recovery disks that came when i bought this laptop.

 

[LordOfLA]

no you need the vista DVD not the laptop restore disc.

zzz they provided me with xp disk instead of vista. :dead:
