thanks, im trying it now. i found the picture im gonna see if i can replace it

ok i tried it and now it wont let me replace the dll file becauswe its already in use. how do i get around that?

Save the file to the C Drive. Restart the computer and while its restarting keep tapping F8. Once it says Windows Advanced Options Menu use the Arrow keys to go to safe mode and press enter. then press enter on the screen to select your operating system. then login and try and replace the file.

Alternately you can try and press CTRL+ALT+DEL and find explorer.exe and end the process. Then click File > New Task and find the file on the c drive copy and paste it to the system32 folder then press cancel and in the run box type explorer.exe.

ok niether of those worked. do you know how to start windows xp in dos mode? and how do i use the move command

edit:
nevermind i know how to make a dos disc from icrosofts help thing now. but how do i use the commands. i dont even know if this'll work

On a side note, a look at dialog 2210 (Shutdown event tracker) shows the people at MS have a slight sense of humour

Could you show us this picture please?

Remember to backup your files michael_m91!

Just a side note to replacing "critical" system files:

Windows has a built in mechanism that will detect file changes to certain system files, and restore the original file (if it can be located - if not it will prompt for the Windows installation disk).

You can read more here and here. A Google search will provide more information on the subject.
