man now that is interesting... its so hard to see what the problem is when talking on a forum man.. get on msn so we can see what the problem is.. it shouldn't cause any problems if you did the steps that i said.. but if it does, you always have your old uxtheme.BAK file i told you to rename your old file to, so if you have any problems, just rename the uxtheme.BAK in both C:windowssystem32 and C:\windows\system32\dllcache back to uxtheme.dll.. then it shouldn't give you an error.. but i still cant see what went wrong so plz if ur around right now , get on msn so we can chat a lil bout this Thanks BLACKAWR
