:mipdodgy: Matty not using quote marks :P

Edit: Try this version of the command before removing themes: you may not need to remove them ;)
I would have to say that the cammand still isnt recognized ...and i never had quotation marks in the command.  the theme isnt the problem.

But you have to have them for it to work.

When you get that error the logic step would be to verify that the location is correct for your case. Use Windows Explorer or whatever to see what the exact location is....

Also, if you do have spaces in the name of the directory (and/or file) always use quotes...

copy c:\blah blah\hello there.txt c:\file.txt
will never work because spaces are delimiters for parameters. There is no way that windows can know if you meant copy:
  "c:\blah blah\hello there.txt" to "c:\file.txt"
or copy
  "c:\blah blah\hello" to "there.txt"

In fact, even if you don't have spaces it is always wise to use quotes in +Win32... So, use
copy "c:\blah blah\hello there.txt" c:\file.ext
instead...

I already have done so ...in this case i looked for the folder "service pack files" in C:\windows as Matty specified and there is no such folder, but the version of windows xp home that i own has sp2 included.

In that case, you'll need to find the file on your Windows disc.
