Turbonium Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi, Is there any way I can restore XP's default uxtheme.dll file? I am assuming I can just copy the file from any other system that has it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an XP installation CD, you can insert it and issue the following command in a command prompt:32-bit OS: expand x:\i386\UXTHEME.DL_ c:\Windows\system32\uxtheme.dll 64-bit OS: expand x:\AMD64\UXTHEME.DL_ c:\Windows\system32\uxtheme.dll Where X is the drive letter. Otherwise, you can copy the DLL from someone else's computer provided they use the same service pack as you. Edit: xp support topic, isn't it? Edit 2: XP RTM/SP1 CD will not work if you have SP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the latest build of XP SP2 (as in all the latest critical updates). Meaning it will work, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblivionStalker Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Can't you just backup it before patching? I am downloading the patcher right now. Can someone answer my question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamz Veteran Posted March 19, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2008 how did you replace it? if you used a patcher, you should be able to restore it. if you used replacer, you can restore the backup file that was created during replacement. but why do you need to restore the default file?
