[help] Installed Pack's Sysfiles...

Hey all. I decided to bite the bullet and do a manual install of Pack's system files. However, they did have an unexpected side-effect. I use Microangelo's On Display to change my Windows font. When I tried to start On Display after replacing them, it says:

"The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occured because the DLL C:\Windows\Sytem32\shell32.dll occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL."

What do I do (other than restore my files)? Is there another way I can change the font? Thanks guys.

the memory allocation problem has to do with shell32.dll. pack mentioned this in the other thread. some programs, like the windows calculator, won't work because of this allocation.

you can change system fonts like this: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?s...?showtopic=5385

Thanks bud. Any ideas on how to fix that problem?

I've had the same problem. The only way around it that I have found was to restore the original dll, install the app, then reapply pack's dll.

That's is the only way around the problem. Pack has talked about at length in another forum. Use the prog Replacer and it makes an easy job of it, because when you use is to replace the files it creates a backup of the original. If you go back to the program and drag the new file to replacer it allows you to restore the backup. It comes in handy for restoring shell32 to install programs.

Hopet his helps.

really? i thought it was just the nature of the dll hack that we have the space allocation problem, i.e. i didn't think there was any way around it.

Hi,

I use Pack DLL and at first i have that memory problem, but when i made a few changes, like replace the AVIs for the Snow ones, and a few icons, the problem dissapeard.

I think the memory problem is about shell32 have a big size, and with the changes i reduceded the size and now works.

Cya.

Rissol is correct I downsized shell32 by taking some of the bloath off and is worknig now, without any more messages.

Remember all Programs use a chunk of memory and if one gets to big it all gets

screwee.
