How to change files?
1. First of all: You have to take ownership!
Windows vista will not let you change them if you don't do that:
Right Click the original file you want to replace in « C:\Windows\System32 »
Go into properties
Tab into security
Click Advanced
Tab into Owner
Click Edit
Highlight Administrators and apply, click yes when prompted
Exit out of properties alltogether
Right Click the file again
Go into properties
Tab into security
Click edit
Highlight Admistrators, Click allow full control and apply, click yes when prompted
You're done

2. Now you have to replace old file by the new one:
Change *default vista file name*.dll by *default vista file name*.bak
Then paste the file included in this package

3. Reboot your computer and see if everything is ok
