[request]comdlg32.ocx

I just reinstalled windows on my comp, and the first thing my eyes see when i boot up my comp, is the ugly Luna styla :/

The first thing i did was downloading the XP manifest maker from iBeric's site, but when i start the app, it just says i need 'COMDLG32.OCX'. Anyone have this file and can upload it to me or something? And tell me where to install it to? :>

Im gonna die if i have to look at this Luna style for too long :cry:

You need to download and install the VB6 Runtime files. You can find them on Google.

You probably uninstalled a program and it took out that file. I happened to me once.

Manifest is an external file that VB uses to add the MSStyle to the program interface. The only that that will happen if it is not there is that the MSStyles will not be applied to that program.

All applications supporting XP themes use manifests (albeit integrated into their .exes or .dlls), or hook directly into uxtheme.dll to do their themed rendering.

Any application that has XP style buttons/scrollers/whatever will likely be using one of these two methods, or some obscure home-brew method involving arcane rituals and dancing around in the nudd.
