Add/Remove Programs utility won't run

Drakon · Nov 20, 2004, 09:19 PM

Hey gang, i need some help. I tried to open the add/remove programs window from the control panel and i get this message: "Parser Message: Value creation failed " at line 472" I have no idea what this means nor any idea what caused it and how to correct it. I'm using XP Pro SP1. Does anyone have any ideas?

some of info in the .msstyles of this theme may not not be win XP compatible, remove it or find an update version of this theme. i'd just remove it and use other ones..

i really don't know how can i help you. how about send an email to the guy who made the theme ask him if he know about this problem and maybe he got an improved version already.

you can also keep using it, change to Win Classic when you want to use Windows Add/Remove program.
