The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\UxTheme.dll is not a valid Windows image

hey guys, you seem to know a lot about this
i have just got a major problem
after i followed those sinstructions to get da replacer and replace
the dll file etc
my comp gave me this message
"The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\UxTheme.dll is not a valid
Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
followign this message i restarted ym comp
when i restarted this comp, i got this message again at the welcoem
screen where i click "OK" to get past it
when my desktop screen comes up, the messahe comes again and when i
clikc "OK" the message goes away but my desktop does not come up, only
the background is there, no taskbar icons etc
i cant use my comp at all all because of this procedure, and i made a
system restore point but i cant access it because no taskbar etc comes
up and im not able to access anything. the only thing i can get open
is the Windows task manager using ctrl+alt+del
can you please help me with this?
im using my 6year old computer because my new computer is dead due to
this procedure, please help me, i am realliy stressed, i just spent my
last savings on that co puter and now it seems to be wasted
im really stressed, please help


Try System restoring it back to the date before u did that stuff .Use
system restore in Safe Mode. Press F8 when the computer starts
continuosly to get to safe mode

Have you tried running System Restore from the Task Manager?

In Task Manager, click on File -> New Task and enter the
following in the box.

%SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

Good luck

is. :-)
