Need help for vista hurry!

Hello everyone!
Sorry for posting this here because i don't know where do i post...
My problem is imageres.dll which is located in C:\Windows\System32
I was downloading some files from Windows 8 and trying to make Windows Vista more like Windows XP,and now i taked ownership and renamed imageres.dll to imageres_backup.dll
And i forgot to move imageres.dll from that pack i downloaded there and i thinked that i moved and restarted PC.
Now when i turned PC i can't install any program,most icons are displayed incorrect,and that...
But when i try to rename imageres_backup.dll to old it doesn't work
And i can't move imageres.dll from pack to there...
Can anyone help me??

What files and what Windows 8 are we talking about. Maybe you meant Windows 7 Beta
and then in any case that can be the cause of your issue.

Use System Restore to go back to before all this happened. Otherwise you'll need to get support on the website you downloaded it from I would imagine.

Then you're screwed. Serves you right for messing around with something you
know nothing about.

An interesting situation... Why would you download somebody's concept of
Windows 8 in an attempt to make Vista look like XP?

Maybe you should try to contact Mufflerexoz at deviantart..

For Vista system restore, go to Control Panel > System > System protection
(left side column)..

You can boot your machine from a Bart PE boot disk and rename/repair
your various files without starting Vista.
If you don't have a boot disk you can download an image I made some time ago:

UBCD4Win_part1.rar (85.83 MB)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?52jieumzikd
UBCD4Win_part2.rar (32.67 MB)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zmgfn2zzw1d

They are rar files, you'll need Winrar to unpack them.
They unpack to a 350 M/b iso image. Burn that to cd and boot from it.
