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,

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.

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)

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

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

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.

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.

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

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
