UxTheme.dll was not found

[datahound]

I am running winxp on a thinkpad t30. Shut it down
normally last night, but today the system won't load. I
get an error that says explorer.exe can't load
because "UxTheme.dll was not found".

Anyone know what this is?

I was able to copy the old version of UxTheme.dll from my
sp1 backup files, but I have no idea how to ge the new
one that came with sp1 (I assume it gave a new one??)

Boot into Safe Mode and copy the file from their.

Thanks for tha fast response. I already did that, and my
system is back up (I am writing you on it).

My questions/concerns are:
1. what is this file, and
2. I have copied what (I am guessing) is the pre-sp1
file. How do I get an updated one?
