Help with windows vista

Post by misterfister »

Anyone knows about computers a lot? If you do i want you to help me out. Im having problems entering my change windows color and appearance in control panel . Keeps telling me Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working. I encountered this problem when i updated windows vista to windows vista service pack 1. Now i am stuck with windows classic and i don't really like it. I wana change my theme and stuff but i cant caz i cant enter that .Also I cant enter theme display settings and screen saver . Tells me the same thing Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working. I think the problem was that i had VistaGlazz. Its a program that allows me to use certain themes that windows vista don't allow.
Can anyone help me out with this its really frustrating :banghead: :x

Either repair, or reformat and reinstall and make sure you don't activate glazzz until you've installed SP1.

You gota have the windows vista dvd or a restore dvd from the time you bought the laptop. Formatting will delete everything on your system just in case you got something you need.

Just do system restore or whatever-the-fuck, it doesn't delete your crap, but it makes the computer go back to how it was when you first bought it.
I'm sure someone here will elaborate on this, 'cause I'm too lazy to figure out what I'm talking about.
