Apparently, you downloaded the 64-bit version.
You need to download the 32-bit version.

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (TweakUI) (147 KB).

IMO: such an error may be a good indication that TweakUI may be too
tricky for you to use.

Are you really sure?

I'm pretty sure TweakUI is not too tricky for Carey, the poster to whom you
replied rather than to fancydouble.

It is probably far safer that fancydouble use TweakUI than delve into the
registry.

That's what happens when you use a stupid name.


--- REPLY SEPARATOR ---
(required only due to poster using quoted-printable format)

Referring maybe to deebs being a dweeb (as I don't see deeb means anything)?
Hey, we're all prone to being a dweeb before that first cup of coffee and,
for some of us, it takes 2 cups of coffee.

Hell, you post using quotable-printable format which is a pain in the ass
for lots of users using webnews interfaces or old newsreaders that don't
understand the format. Even OE doesn't know how to reply to
quoted-printable. Well, to be fair, the RFCs describe how to use format and
even later described format=flowed but they don't define how to *handle*
that format when replying. Like HTML, quoted-printable should also not be
used in Usenet posts.

But links break.
