| 218684 | 2004-02-27 20:59:00 | Term_X, Sounds like you are using/have installed a 3rd party (non-Microsoft) visual style/theme. You can get this error when you are running a non Microsoft visual style and the folder containing the customised styleshell.dll has a different name from the themes' name (as shown in the appearances tab). To get rid of this error you can switch back to a Microsoft Theme or go to /WINDOWS/Resources/Themes/<Name of theme in use> and rename the shell folder to the name of the visual style shown in the appearance tab. If you have a theme with multiple variations you must make this change for each subfolder containing a differing styleshell.dll file. (If you don't know the exact name, go to Display Properties, and try to Display/Show the theme, the name you see in Display Properties is the name you need to change the 'Shell' folder to.) Once you've changed the 'Shell' folder name to correspond with the visual styles name, you can reapply the theme. Cheers, Babe. |
