dansx6 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Larney, the only ones that show up are Windows Classic Style and Windows XP Style. I put Tiger and Panther in the folder. The Panther "Theme" shows up in the properties dialog but if I try to load it it changes the wallpaper and the cursor only. I am going to try your fix now. In case I have to run to work, thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Larney Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Are you sure your opening the .msstyle files and NOT the .theme files. Also try a few more themes?

dansx6 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Followed your directions exactly and no change. I will try a couple of different themes.

Rafael Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 What he's experiencing is commonly experienced when the Uxtheme is not patched at all. Verify by making sure the preview window shows nothing but a few corners of a window, wallpaper, and the recycle bin.

dansx6 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 (edited) Sorry. Had to go to work. Back and ready to try some o0ther stuff. I am going to try a couple of other themes first and see what happens. I'm stumped. Nothing. No change. Nada. The ustheme.dll in the C:\Windows|Resources|Themes folder is the patched one, v. 6.0.2900.2180. I still get the error message when I use replacer. I still get an error message when I use the Neowin patcher.

Are you sure your doing everything correctly?

dansx6 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Larney and insanekiwi, It is working!!!! I went back to the Replacer site to see if there was a troubleshooting section and I noticed "If you are running Windows 2000 or are experiencing unexpected errors, download the components package (57kb). In most cases, this is not required. " I downloaded the components and put them in the Replacer folder. I re-ran Replacer to generate the error message for a screenshot and it WORKED!!! Thank you guys for all of your time and assistance. :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182900-uxtheme-installation-under-windows-xp2003/page/11/#findComment-585140938 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larney Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Windows 2000, uxtheme's are not patched for that OS and you said you tried to do exactly what I said by replacing the uxtheme.dll file manually, but oh well...go you (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182900-uxtheme-installation-under-windows-xp2003/page/11/#findComment-585141269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansx6 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I know Larney. The only thing that I changed after several attempts with the Neowin patch program and Replacer was to download the components file from the Replacer site and put in the folder with Replacer, as per the instructions. I have no idea why it worked but it did. Thanks again for your help. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/182900-uxtheme-installation-under-windows-xp2003/page/11/#findComment-585141727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
