Nusrmgr.cpl Problem
Hi..
I have just noticed that my User Accounts applet (nusrmgr.cpl) does not display properly. It's missing a few small images and in their places is a red-crossed placeholder. Below is a link to a screenshot to demonstrate the problem: http://www.nick-thompson.co.uk/nusrmgr.cpl.jpg I have Vista Transformation Pack v6.0 installed and thought that may be the problem so I uninstalled it but the problem persists...plus VTP has been installed for a while and this is a relatively new problem. Are there any 'shell' experts out there who might be able to suggest any possible fixes please? Perhaps if I knew what .dll file the images are stored in, I may be a little closer to solving the problem? Or does the nusrmgr.cpl file need editing at all with ResHack? All my other applets load ok and as far as I can tell, there are no other obvious or similar system problems apart from this. I have no malware issues and all anti-virus/anti-spy scans come back clean and my HJT log is clean too. I know it's not a huge issue but it's becoming a bit of an annoyance so I would be grateful for any help. Thanks.. Nick

Nusrmgr.cpl Problem
Dustin
You can use System File Checker to resolve your problem. The normal way to restore missing or damaged files in the system32 folder is to use the System File Checker tool. Try Start, Run, type "sfc /scannow" without quotes and hit Enter. Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe) http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;310747 A common problem with running System Files Checker is that it requires a CD with all the system drivers for what is currently installed. This means that if the system has been updated from SP1 to SP2 or from SP2 to SP3 the user no longer has a current CD. The solution is to carry out a process known as slipstreaming to put the original and the update together on a single CD, which can then be used. I personally have never attempted this but that would be the way forward. http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...slipstream.asp -- Hope this helps.

Nusrmgr.cpl Problem
Gerry,
System File Checker does NOT need all the updates to be on the cd. The original cd is file as there is a vale SFC looks for in the registry called: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup] "ServicePackCachePath"="C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFile s" ....and only uses the cd to check the version numbers of the files against those of the system32 folder AND the ones in the ServicePackCache and then uses those. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London.

Nusrmgr.cpl Problem
I can't speak for everyone's computer, but I have SP3 Installed on my XP Pro
(SP2) installation. When I try running SFC /SCANNOW it asks for the cd although I know that the files are now different and copies of the new Service Pack files are stored on my computer at the location C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 and the SFC Registry value: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup] "ServicePackCachePath"="C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFile s" ....points to it. After putting the cd into the drive (with files that are now out-of-date on it!) SFC runs! How odd, but that is what it does. It seems it wants to take a look at the original files before comparing them with the service pack files (cached on the hard-drive) before it will run. I'm not the only one that thinks this. If your newsreader goes back that far, take a look at this thread: SFC - changing install directory on the group microsoft.public.windowsxp.general == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London.

Nusrmgr.cpl Problem
Tim
In general terms I gave up recommending System File Checker because of problems trying to use it on my own computer after updating to SP2. I felt it unwise to recommend it to other users if I could not get it to work as it should myself. Slipstreaming is the answer but that is another less than easy task. It does, of course work OK if the system and CD are based on the same Service Pack. I cannot recheck the problem because my system and CD are now SP3. Another reason for not recommending System File Checker is that I suspect most driver problems relate to third party not system drivers. Many of the problems I try to help with involve Stop Errors, which are often linked to hard to identify third party drivers. -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tim Meddick wrote: I can't speak for everyone's computer, but I have SP3 Installed on my XP Pro (SP2) installation.

This means that if the system has been updated from SP1 to SP2 or from SP2 to SP3 the user no longer has a current CD. The solution is to carry out a process known as slipstreaming to put the original and the update together on a single CD, which can then be used.

Nusrmgr.cpl Problem
I will not contradict myself however, I do agree with you so far as to say
that I don't think using SFC with a service pack is a good idea unless you are using a slipstream cd. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. "Gerry" wrote in message ...
