Larney Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Ok, have you tried deleteing any files with uxtheme in the name (yes including patched files you downloaded). Just keep C:\Windows\system32\uxtheme.dll and then reboot. Download the patched uxtheme.dll and follow my instructions (or whatever method you want to use) earlier for replacing the file. If that doesn't work use the Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patcher v2.5.1 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182900-uxtheme-installation-under-windows-xp2003/page/9/#findComment-585111991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larney Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 All that is changed in the uxtheme.dll is one offset so the filesize doesn't change. The file you downloaded will work don't worry (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182900-uxtheme-installation-under-windows-xp2003/page/9/#findComment-585117690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 no. the size must be the same. the file is patched. backup your copy, then replace it. also you need to start the theme service under win2k3. put the visual styles in the appropiate folder and you're done.

Searchname Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Any idea which I should use? I have XP Home with SP2 downloaded directily from Windows Update. In your SP2 directory, everything is 6.0 ... mine is 5.1. It is a Dell OEM CD that came free with a work PC; We purchased 2000 Pro and it came with a free "upgrade" to XP Home, so I installed it on my home PC.
