Empty office after having tried to change the theme, missing uxtheme.dll

So I decided to change the theme on my computer and told to download different themes on online sites, I would need to get another uxtheme.dll. After getting the new dll withinwindows.com (Windows vista SP0 pack), I'm gone in my system32 folder, then changed my original .dll file to read uxtheme.old.  Then I put in the new .dll file, I now had the .dll files as .old.  Told me to restart my computer so that the change will be so I could finally put on new themes.  My computer loaded up fine until I got to the login page where I noticed that the box where I type my password was not normal. When I typed my password, the points that protect the password did not line up with the box, in that I was typing.  He then flashed "Welcome" for one second and then my screen when black followed by a box saying that it lacked the uxtheme.dll and to look for a solution online or close the program.  I have a mouse pointer, but nothing else, and I can't in the Manager of tasks either.

Help, please!

Start your computer with the Vista installation DVD and do a restore of the system to a date before you tinkered. If you do not have a true Vista DVD because your computer is only shipped with a recovery disk, you can use this:

Download Windows Vista recovery disk:

You will need to burn the .iso image file you upload as an image, not as data using third-party burning software.

Once have this problem you, be more careful with what you download from the Internet to change themes. A good place to look for safe thematic programs is software WinCustomize.com and Stardock. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
