Larney Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Search for uxtheme.dll on C:\Windows (susposing you installed Windows on C:\). Delete ALL uxtheme.dll's apart from the one in C:\Windows\system32 Then rename C:\Windows\system32\uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.dll.old then copy in the new patched uxtheme.dll Reboot, delete uxtheme.dll.old and you should be ok (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182900-uxtheme-installation-under-windows-xp2003/page/8/#findComment-585110267 Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanekiwi Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 ..again? instead of telling him to re-replace his uxtheme you should have helped him to get his themes working :rolleyes: that wasn't constructive at all. edit: i know it's :whistle: mr.smart pants. it was just a typo. now crap off or i'll have your comments wiped out again.

Larney Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Telling me to crap off isn't nice and isn't needed. Get over being on your high horse and understand your not the only person who knows about uxtheme.dll patching? Geonetic, has already downloaded the file so he needs help making sure the patch has been completely properly. Well sorry Mr. Know It All for trying to help, you go ahead and have your thread as you want to be the know-it-all...my help will no longer be offered in here You just don't like my method because it works. Thats why you added my method onto your main post wasn't it ?!?
