I have recently installed a theme and had to rename the original shell32.dll to shell32.dll.bak and i put in a new shell32.dll file from the theme into the system 32 folder then restarted then On starting up, and before the Windows logo displays it throws up an error message:= = = = = = = Title bar text: LogonUI.exe This application has failed to start because SHELL32.dll was not found.RE-installing the application MAY fix the problem.= = = = = Clicking on [OK] then displays the Windows logo then logon, following with a black screen I get two error messages. The first is the same as that above except that the file QUOTED in the title bar is Explorer.exe. And i don't have the original vista ultimate CD i have tried the system RECOVERY and that didnt work. and i have VERY important data that i DON'T WANT TO LOOSE! what's the solution to this problem?!try starting in Safe mode with Command Prompt.



You can hook up the drive as a slave to another desktop machine and retrieve your important data...

I GUESS you've already discovered messing with Themes is not ALWAYS a good idea...i tried booting into safe mode with command prompt and that didn't work Alright, you'll have to go with Patio's suggestion.i guess i'll have to buy another computer Quote from: randomkidsrule on July 28, 2009, 08:36:43 AM
