Why the hell would someone want to install SP3 Release candidates except testing reasons? But let's say someone has a reason (curiosity or whatever) ,why is this person wondering that it messed up his "untill then" well working OS ?...If that person is a "pro" than I guess he or she could deal with the problem without any additional help and if not than it's obvious that it wasn't meant for him(her) to use.

Hello. I installed SP3 for windows xp. Its working fine but I need a new modified uxtheme to make vista transformation pack work perfectly.

I couldnt find one for SP3, does anyone know where I can find?

HEy! This worked for build 3300 RC2

This is the RS link for the hacked uxtheme and the newer version of Replacer. It really did work for me!!!

http://rapidshare.com/files/90311668/Modif...uxtheme.dll.rar

Just use replacer to swap the old one with the new unlocked one. Just be sure to use the left side browse button to search for the old uxtheme.dll. It is in the %windows%\system32\uxtheme.dll.

Use the right side browse button to add the new uxtheme.dll. Then press replace and Presto. Reboot and go into the display section of the Control Panel and change your theme.

There is always someone that is willing to put the next man down!!!

Here is version .5512 which is the FINAL release of Service Pack 3, enjoy!

After much pain I figured out that people like me, who have limited accounts as well must set the permissions of their %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\uxtheme.dll to allow "users" to have read and exectution rights on it.

Otherwise you'll get the mysterious "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022)" from explorer.exe at logon. It's all just because this patcher doesn't keep the original rights of the uxtheme.dll file. So don't panic, just log on as an administrator and add your "users" group at the security panel of uxtheme.dll.

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
