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!!!

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.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
