UXTheme Repair

[matt531320]

I crashed my PC replacing the UXTheme files (that allow you to use custom themes) and I was wondering where I could find the original Windows 7 64bit UXTheme Dlls, those being:
shsvcs.dll, themeui.dll, and uxtheme.dll
that way I can fix them in a linux partition I have that I use for repairs. Thanks in Advance.

Hello Matt,

You can use the tutorial below to help you extract these files directly from your Windows 7 installation DVD. Afterwards, you will need to take ownership of your current ones first to copy and replace them with the ones you extracted.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, I'm gonna try that and see what happens.

Crap. I don't have an installation DVD here . My notebook didn't come with the Windows 7 DVD. I know where I get my hands on one *cough* but I don't want to have to go that far. So I just tried booting off the system repair disk and just running startup repair.... no luck. Is there anything else I could do?

Do you have a friend that has a retail Windows 7 installation disc that you can borrow to extract the files that you need?

If not, then what edition of Windows 7 do you have installed?

 

[matt531320]

No, I don't (unfortunately(that was my first thought before the repair disc)). I currently have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Ok Matt, here you go. I extracted them off my DVD for your edition.
