TWEAKUI XP

I run a windows XP PRO.
For few years I had the excellent program called TWEAKUI and it worked fine.

A while ago I lost the button called "APPLY" at the bottom of the page and
ever since I can't do anything in this lovely program. I tried to download
from MS the same program but Now it is no longer one program that contain
every thing but they have separated the various components and you have to
download each one separately.

I tried that route but it keep giving me stories such as I must have an MCE
program on my machine and I don't even know what is MCE.

How to liven up the GRAYED out "apply" button on the program I already have
and used for years,
or what program to download that can fix this matter or re-install the
program. And if I obtain a new program , do I have to delete the old one
before re-installing the new one?
Thanks
Janet

Uninstall TweakUI. Re-start your computer. Obtain TweakUI from Microsoft
and install it:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Keep in mind that TweakUI changes your system in ways that can set off
alarms for your security software. You may need to disable your security
software when using TweakUI.

Hi Leonard
Thanks for the quick response.
I went to the site you mentioned and on the right column there are many
programs.

In the past I downloaded one only and it contained all of them. Does it mean
I now have to download each separately and delete/re-install each
separately?

Thanks
Janet

OK Leonard
I downloaded one that is 147 KB .
I went to ADD REMOVE to delete the old one and there I found two items.
One says just TWEAKUI at 2.63 MB
with no information on it

The other is TWEAKUI POWERTOY FOR WINDOWS XP and it is only 0.36 MB.
This one has the info of MS CORP and the version 1.00.001

Which one to remove and maybe I can scrap them both. What you say?

Thanks
Janet

I'm not sure which is which, but read the following:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp (if you
have SP1 or SP2 installed) or
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe
(if you don't have SP1 or SP2).

My guess is that your problems with TweakUI were because you had the
second one listed above, but then installed SP1 or SP2, and that
caused the lack of compatibility. If I were in your shoes, I'd just
uninstall whatever you have and then install the correct one listed
above.

By the way, I see that in your original message you say "I lost the
button called "APPLY" at the bottom of the page and ever since I can't
do anything in this lovely program." Be aware that the standard use of
the Apply button is that it works exactly the same as the OK button,
except that it keeps the dialog box open. I can't recall what TweakUI
does in this respect, but most programs follow that standard.

WELL.... I can't understand what happen.

I tried to remove both of them but only the one of the 0.36Mb gone.

the other one without the MS info and it is 2.63MB this one won't go away.

On the other hand the entire program with its dead "Apply" is still there
but without the Apply will not activate anything.

What shall I do now?

Thanks
Janet
