    You need to have the [Take Owner Ship reg key] installed and then just take owner ship of the dll, by right clicking the dll and choose Take Owner Ship, and then it will let you replace the file.

    Make sure mce is not running in the background. Looks like you had mce running then closed it right before trying to over write the file. Sometimes it takes a minute before the file is released. Give it moment and try again, or you can open task manager and kill the process if it is still running. Another option you can try is to go to services and stop the service for a while, then make the file changes, then start them again. Let me know if you need further help. Off topic: I think I have asked this a million times: Anyone figured out how to change the font type or color in MCE yet. Because of the current font color, only dark background images can be used. It would be nice to use more pleasant colors for a change.

    I think you are missing a step, because I just changed mine, and all I do is take ownership, and it is done. I did however run into the denial issue, I had to open the task manager and kill the process. Try this, reboot in safe mode, and copy the file.
    @Bxd, are you looking for something that looks like inside a movie theatre, with the curtain drop? If so, they this: inside move theatre - Google Images=
    I tried using Astro Black theme, but it keeps locking up my mce.
    The first one is my main mce screen, and the other is inside mce.
    Update: I am making progress with getting the font to change, still playing with it. Once I get it totally figured out I will post.
