    I tried to replace 3 files in the system 32 folder


    Hey guys, I tried to replace 3 files in the system 32 folder, and must have made a mistake along the way leaving my laptop inaccessible once logged on. The three files were:
    uxtheme.dll
    themeui.dll
    themeservice.dll

    I received these error messaged when logged on:

    dwm.exe - Application error
    the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.

    explorer.exe - Application error
    the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click ok to close the application.

    Can system restore revert back the files so it was like i never attempted the patch?

    Also, sorry for the previous rule braking reply. Thanks :)
