Hi, every time my computer with xp boots up, I can log in but it displays the
message "Explorer.exe - Entry Point Not Found: Procedure Point
GetThemeBackgroundContentRect not located in dynamic link library
UxTheme.dll" And nothing will display, not the toolbar nor icons nor anything
else, just my wallpaper. Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
Boot to Safe Mode (F8 on restart) and change back to the standard Windows
Theme in the Display app in Control Panel/Themes tab.
 
Hey thank you very much, but I have to use the RUN command and go to "control
color" to get to the Screen Saver tab in display properties, when I try to
click on the Themes tab the error message "RUNDLL: An exception occurred
while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
C:/WINDOWS/System32/desk.cpl,,2" pops up, and I can't get to the themes tab
or the Appearance tab.
 
Hey thank you i tried those and was able to get to the themes and appearance
tabs but still cant get toolbar or icons to appear on startup. when i logon
on startup now i get error message saying 'uxtheme.dll not found.
reinstalling uxtheme.dll might solve problem.' but i've tried installing it
by downloading into system32 and am still getting error message any ideas?
