sedative Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 No.It's the theme that you're using. Specifically it's the shellstyle. You can do one of three things:1. Find an updated version of your theme.2. Remove the Shell folder in your theme dir.3. Use a different theme.The file in question will be located at X:\Windows\Resources\Themes\<yout theme>\Shelledit: It was covered here a little while ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Some hacked themes causes the error in Add/Remove. Switch back to Classic/Luna, and then Add/Remove will work as it should. When you've finished, switch back to your favourite theme! bah, sed beat me to it, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
