Windows X Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) This program will patch your uxtheme.dll file so you can use any 3rd party visual style on Windows XP/SP1/SP2 and Windows Server 2003/SP1. File protection dialogs should be cancelled and a reboot is required after using this patch. Patched Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems with this program can be unpatched by running this program again. What's new in version 4.0 -Added 64-bit support (not 100% work) -Added few delay (about 2.5 seconds) in some tasks to make it done before doing next task (which I assume it solve some issues) -Added Windows Server 2003 SP1 support -Added stopping Themes service during patching for more success chance UXTheme_Multi_Patcher_4.0.zip Edited October 30, 2006 by Frank filzuolo 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/308905-uxtheme-multi-patcher-neowin-edition-40/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick to manually patching your file as it has a better outcome rate, https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=182900 The amount of problems I've heard people having with your patch is ridicolous and why go and take Rafael's patched files and make an installer that doesn't work?

Windows X Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 didymus , I guess you've caught by soem spyware or adware that add ie toolbar or something. sabretoooth, check the path that program reported. It has setup files which could make patch fails. To fix it, rename that folder and run patch again.

Songbird ^ Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 did anybody test this on 2003SP1 ? before SP1 everything worked but now i can't apply my hmmXP anymore. i removed any SP1 update cache files. there's no other uxtheme.dll on my harddisk but the patched one in system directory and in dllcache directory and i have no windows cd in my drive.
