The subject error occurs for certain application, like a terminal services client, on your Windows 2000 Professional workstation.

This behavior occurs if you installed Windows XP themes, and the Windows XP uxtheme.dll file was copied to your %SystemRoot%System32 folder.

NOTE: The %SystemRoot%System32uxtheme.dll file is in use and cannot be deleted or unregistered.

To resolve this problem:

1. If %SystemRoot%System32DLLCACHEuxtheme.dll exists, rename it to %SystemRoot%System32DLLCACHEuxtheme.CFG.

2. Rename %SystemRoot%System32uxtheme.dll to %SystemRoot%System32uxtheme.cfg.

3. Shutdown and restart Windows 2000.

4. if the %SystemRoot%System32DLLCACHEuxtheme.cfg file exists, delete it.

5. Delete the %SystemRoot%System32uxtheme.cfg file.
