user32.dll relocated in memory

[chrisclick]

Why dont I just go back to windows 95... at least they didn't have errors like XP

Ok, this is whats going wrong with my PC:
When I boot up and log in I get a warning box saying that the user32.dll was relocated in the memory (no screen shots yet)

How is this fixable?

Did you skin your computer using something like the Vista Transformation pack?

[chrisclick]

^ yes :( and it was a waste of time

[kirupa]

That's your problem right there. You can try restoring individual files such as user32.dll using the built-in System File Checker, but like mentioned in this thread (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192790), the transformation pack causes more trouble than good.

I bought a nice cell phone but then I smashed it with a hammer. The cell phone was terrible, I'm going to start using a can and a string. :|

[chrisclick]

Yes... I would just rather wait a few more days for the Vista Home Primium to be posted to my house :P

BTW, just to be noobie were is the file checker?

It's a command line app (used to be GUI-based pre-XP): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747 (or http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/howto-24.html)

That might find out what the error was and fix the issue :)

I got a similar issue but only after I updated this last week, auto update bastard lol.

I googled my message and the closest I found was that the problem program was related to my RealTech built in sound card which I dont even use because I have a Creative XFI surround sound that came when I bought it.

Anyways I only had this problem after the most recent XP update.

Guinness, were you able to resolve your issue? If not, here is the hotfix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935448/) from Microsoft (sounds different from the problem the OP is having, but might still be helpful).

You know what, XP did a auto update (AFTER I DISABLED IT!!) and I have a build in sound card...

Is there a solution. As the system file checker didnt work :(
