Repair windows XP deafult theme

[ayushman9]

Due to some prank mindset , i installed Windows vista Transformation pack(i think it was latest version) however i found that it was hogging a lot's of resources ,and i uninstall ed it(just the legal way ,by going in set program access and defaults ),however the next time i booted the theme was windows classic and not luna ,and when i tried to change it by going into desktop properties ,it says that dbgeng.dll was not installed/not found and generated an error . Now i don't want to go all over formatting again . I their any other way i can repair the visual style.

I have a Windows XP PROFESSIONAL SP 2,C2D E4400,GEFORCE 8600 GT ,1 GB RAM if any further information is required i will try to provide.

dbgeng.dll Download

No no ,when i copied dbgeng.dll in system 32 ,nothing happens when i apply the luna theme as it says that applying settings and then nothing happens,though the dbgeng.dll problem is not coming now but still how can i repair the theme/visual style.

d00d it sems dat ur luna.msstyles is either missing/corrupt

download Restore Luna Theme (its a direct download)

unzip it and in d folder ..\Resources\Themes\Luna, u will find a file luna.msstyles

copy-paste it d location
C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna

once it is dun double click on it
(hopefully ur Luna theme will b restored)

Tutorial for Replacing Your Shell32.dll in Windows XP

[ayushman9]

well well well ,you see when i went to safe mode ,windows did not load as the process stopped at some /system32/BUP.SYS .

Then i thought what the heck am i doing and can do for what long.

I was deciding to format ,when luckily i founded a DVD in which i had copied a image of the a previously running session and norton Ghost .I popped it and lo behold everything came to normal .Fortunetly there were no important files .

However from next time i will never touch/do this kind of transformation pack I SWEAR
