wickerwolf Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 ok ive found another possible method http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9878&st=0 in which it says "Before you continue, patch your uxtheme.dll by one of the following two ways.1. Probably the easiest solution would be to download the uxtheme cab file extract it, and place it in your i386 directory" but none of the links to the patched uxtheme.dll work can any1 help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power350 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) correct syntax is "expand ntoskrnl.ex_ ntosknrl.exe" this is if you are in the current directory in a cmd promt. if not and running it from the run dialog then you need to type "expand :pathtofile:\ntoskrnl.ex_ :pathtofile:\ntoskrnl.exe" you don't need to specify the I386 folder for expand since it is in the system 32 directory and is part of the path variable. hope this helps Edited April 22, 2006 by Power350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
