Themes wont work. Error!
Hi every one. I am trying to use themes in windows 98. I installed them using add/remove programs of the win98 cd. I was able to get it to install Ok and initially set up the science theme. Now I want to change it and get an error message every time I press apply or OK, this is the error I have been getting.
"this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists contact the program vendor"
Then this from the details button:
THEMES caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 0000:005302f4.
Registers:
EAX=ffffffff CS=015f EIP=005302f4 EFLGS=00010202

Has any one else encountered this? if so how do I fix it.
All help appreciated.

Ok, I am downloading all the new themes as suggested.
the registry key you listed could not be found using the find function in regedit. I assume it is not there. I also attempted to find just the last part of the key, but to this stage no luck.
I assume it does not exist in my registry. I will let you know how it goes with the down load of the themes. So far I still have an hour to go!

Okay Leisha, as long as you looked and that key is not there, than that's a good start.

Well thank you very much. Themes now work. As well, I have four lovely new themes I did not have in the past.
The down load of themes from the windows update site was a very good solution to this problem.
Does it work with win95 too? I have a win95 computer showing a similar problem.
Thanks again. *S*

I believe there are some for Windows 95 *S*, but I haven't worked with that OS in months. I believe that MS has a download site for updates to Windows 95 and Office that may have something.

Thanks.
