    I turned on the pc and went to the washroom, it always takes about 5mins to start-up. When I come back, it shows an error:

    userinit.exe unable to locate Component.

    This application has failed to start because uxtheme.dll was not found. Re-install ing the application may fix this problem.

    and then when I clicked ok this came up:

    explorer.exe unable to locate Component.

    This application has failed to start because uxtheme.dll was not found. Re-install ing the application may fix this problem.

    When I go to safe mode, I get

    lsass.exe unable to locate Component.

    This application has failed to start because uxtheme.dll was not found. Re-install ing the application may fix this problem.

    and:

    services.exe unable to locate Component.

    This application has failed to start because uxtheme.dll was not found. Re-install ing the application may fix this problem.

    what should I do? Should I reformat? right now I'm in safe mode using the administrator account, the background is black and I open programs with taskmgr>file>newtask/run>browse/find a file and open.

    There was a patch I found but I dont know how to install it. And people who have had problems with this on forums, need help, I found one guy who copied the patch into C:>windows>system32 and it worked.

    any way to get out?

    Im dling the xpize theme, if it works then I'll use that for a while, until I can get a permanent patch and go back to using normal xp visual styles.

    Select "none" in the dropdown box and make certain that the "password protect" on resume option is unchecked.

    If this fails to clear the problem, you will have to go through the appropriate function within the administrative tools area.

    for some reason, there's files on my 2nd hdd (didnt reformat) that are corrupt. I backed up my dvd gladiator onto the hdd with dvddecrypter and now its unaccessible because its corrupt I went to properties and its uppose to be 7.2 gb but it says 0bytes. There's a few movies that are fused together too .

    the folder where I keep my songs from ares is 'corrupt' too. It was working yesterday.

    there was a little balloon that said run chkdsk utility, run>chkdsk? if I restart my pc while chkdsk come up?

    help
