NEED HELP

[-Jaydee-]

Well i was trying to download some themes.
IM ON Vista

And i seen on a site it said i needed to reaname and do some stuff to theme.dll files and stuff.
Well i done that and it said i needed to reboot my pc so i did.

Now when i turn it on its saying missing file Uxtheme.dll

And even when i go in safe mode the screen is completely black,

Can anyone help?

Restore the back up if you made any lolz

[-Jaydee-]

Nope, didnt make any.

Also i only got the pc like a month ago and i didnt even get and restore/back up cds or w.e there called

[Leetzgirl]

You havent got any cds at all??

[-Jaydee-]

Well i got 2 cd's with it.

They where blank recovery dvd's apart from then thats it.

Didnt even get a vista disk or anything, it was all allready on the pc

Start your computer in safe mode (as that doesnt use a theme) and then do a system restore.

Tried it, it just says safe mode in all four corners and everything is still black.

Thats what i tried to do.

k, download a copy of vista from www.thepiratebay.com and use YOUR product key on it (not the one that is said in the torrent file)

i cant make cds on this laptop :(

Do you think if i reinstall vista ill get all the theme files back?

Because ill just buy a new vista cd.

[Stephen!]

No - You'll lose everything

[-Jaydee-]

Loose everything as in?

I dont mind loosing music/images/msn/firefox stuff like that can be downloaded again.
Or will it completely loose everything

[Stephen!]

Every bit of data that you have

[-Jaydee-]

What do i need to do to fix this then :(

[Stephen!]

Well there is one way.. when you have got a Vista disc, instead of installing it again, select 'Repair'. This SHOULD fix it and you won't lose any of your data

[-Jaydee-]

Well im going to ring comet/ACER to see if they can do anything.

If they cant and i do get a vista disk, what do i do?
Because i tried to put xp back on one of my computers before and it completely screwed it up.

[Stephen!]

Yeah, I think that's the best thing to do. You could also take it to PC world for the tech guys to have a look at it for you and fix it.. although they would charge like £30 for them to do so.. Quite expensive.

[-Jaydee-]

Its still in it warrenty from comet, do you think theyll fix it for free ?

I just want to know is it actually possible to fix or is my whole pc just gone

[Stephen!]

You'll have to check your warranty to see if they cover software faults also. I have a feeling they would only fix/replace it if it had some physical damage

Boot from a vista CD and enter the recovery console and rename %systemroot%\System32\uxtheme.old to uxtheme.dll

[-Jaydee-]

I didnt even get a Vista CD with it :S :S :S
