Help requested RE: problem with uxtheme.dll

[Guest Tony Meloche]

I am running XP Home, SP3.

 

I am having a repetitive problem at shutdown that shows up in Event

Viewer as follows:

 

Faulting application, version 0.0.0.0. faulting module uxtheme.dll

version 6.0.2900.5512. fault address 0x000011f5.

 

Help and Support Center merely tells me that they haven't any info

regarding that specific problem.

 

There are four copies of uxtheme.dll on my computer. The two from

the i386 and $NTservicePackUninstall$ folders are version 6.0.2900.2180.

 

The two from the Windows\System32 and Windows\servicepackfiles\i386

folders are version are 6.0.2900.5512 (evidently a more recent version.

 

The message indicates the problem is with the newer version. It is a

signed Microsoft file, but is still identified as "unknown application"

on the properties sheet.

 

Can anyone help with this? Thank you!

 

Tony

A complete copy of the Error Report from Event Viewer would help.

 

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double

click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a

button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event

Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of

the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from

Event Viewer.

 

You need to identify the Application. You could try Process Monitor.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

 

Start logging and then shut down. Read the post by Molotov is this link:

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately there is nothing in the Event Viewer Report that gives an

obvious clue.

 

Have you customised a Theme? This mysterious application I would imagine

relates to something like this but it is not something I know much

about.

 

Start, Control Panel, Display, Themes is one place to start. Did the

problem exist before installing SP3?

Hope this helps.

Not this specific problem, no. I had a similar problem (only occurred

on shutdown) that I traced eventually to a screen saver I've used for

years - but started giving me trouble. Out it went. This is a new

problem, and yes, it is since I installed SP3. I wonder if replacing

the two older version with the newer version of the file (or

vice-versa!) would cure it?

The only version of uxtheme,dll currently in use in the one the the

system32 folder. The other new copy is a backup file and the two older

files are if you wish to uninstall SP3. Tinkering with these files is

not the answer. The problem lies with the unnamed application /

programme using uxtheme.dll.

 

Are there any other Error Reports currently appearing in Event Viewer?

Hope this helps.

Nope, just that one. Adnd I appreciate the continuing interest you are

taking in this Gerry. We may not solve it, but fortunately it doesn't

affect the operation of my computer in any other way.
