    Cannot respond to UAC elevation prompts


    I have been trying to mod my system's appearance by installing dlls that came with a theme I found online. I ended up renaming Imageres.dll to Imageres.dll-bak...however after I did that I can no longer push yes or no when prompted by UAC. The actual window doesn't show up at all. All it says is that I need admin rights to do whatever it is I'm trying to do, but then doesn't show the yes or no or password thing. So I can't change it back, and can't put any new files in that folder since I can't get administrator priviledges to do so.

    I also tried doing a system restore but I then got a 8x80004005 error and can't even do that.. I'm about to try enabling the built-in administrator account and see if I can make the changes there but I'm afraid to log out so I'm making this post now. Can anyone help me out?

    Edit: Seems I can't even enable the built in administrator account because I can't open an elevated command prompt =/

    If you haven't already, see if you may be able to do a system restore at boot instead. :)
