You guys are so leet. I wish I could be as leet as you, and poke fun at someone who is trying to do things the "easy" way (or, possibly, they don't LIKE manually changing system files, even ones that won't "break" windows, necessarily).

Seriously, get off your high horse. Either explain another method, in detail, without talking down the person with the problem, or don't say anything. You're not contributing in ANY way to the person's problem. And now, neither am I, cuz I'm bitching at you. Meh.

^^ Your post wasn't helpful either. :p But here goes.

ALTERNATE WAY TO APPLY UXTHEME PATCH

1) Download the 32-bit patch or 64-bit patch. Extract the files to your desktop.

2) Install this right-click menu item. You don't really need this if you know how to take ownership of files.

3) Reboot into safe mode.

4) Open up Windows\System32 and use the search box to locate the three files you'll be replacing.

5) Right click each one, click Take Ownership.

6) Repeat two more times for the other files.

7) Clear the search results. Drag and drop the files on your desktop to the System32 folder.

8) Reboot. :)

I've done all that, and Glazz says: "Your system files are patched, use the button to unpatch these files."

And still nothing, when i go to apply a theme it goes to the Classic theme.

Uninstall VistaGlazz. Try doing the above method without having VistaGlazz installed. I know how to take ownership of files, and the right click thing is still helpful :x

If that still fails, make sure you have the right files for your version of Vista. Like, if you have Vista 64, make sure the files you are patching aren't for Vista 32, or vice versa.

Alternatively, uninstall VistaGlazz, reboot, apply Aero (default theme), reboot again (just to completely refresh Windows, you can prolly skip this reboot if yer frisky), download the newest version of VistaGlazz, install it, and try again.

I honestly think I used the manual method, then did VistaGlazz and it told me my files weren't patched (as I was staring at a nonsigned VS applied) - applied the VistaGlazz patch too, and everything works. I was running on 2 hours of sleep at the time though, so I really don't remember much except it's all working now :x

i used it to patch my x64 and it's working for me now.

but please read the instructions/help, there are changes made to make the patching easier.

Oqay, please help me!

I have viztaglazz and they are allways saying me to reboot. I reboot and it asks me again to reboot!

I do the thing with safety mode and I have vista visual master but still doesn't work. (in vista visual master says me that "actually patched.)

someday I'll kill my vista! ='S

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
