    You need to take ownership(tutorial and download here) and change the name from .dll to old(never delete in case something doesn't go right) then swap place the new ones in system32 and SySWOW64(best to keep the original copies in Documents and copy to their respective places) Yes they both must be done, they have a 32 bit and a 64bit version, and be careful not to mix them up. It's best & safest to make separate folders in Documents when importing the new dll files one sys32 and one syswow64.

    So in short:
    • VERY IMPORTANT: CREATE A SYSTEM IMAGE BEFORE HAND!!! You can use Macrium Reflect free if you don't have an imager. Do not trust a restore point(ever ever ever). Until you have an image and know you can boot into the recovery environment-Do not touch system files with a stick even.
    • take ownership
    • change name to .old
    • copy new files to respective folders
    • try just signing out then back in first, if that doesn't do it re boot.
