lvllord's tcpip patch still works:

http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads

Found another patch:

http://hwrms.com/blog/?p=17

I'm not sure but does the lvllord patch just switches the SP3 tcpip.sys with a hacked/patched SP2 tcpip.sys?

Or does it hack the tcpip.sys of the current version?

And I found another hacked uxtheme.dll(5512) at Winmatrix.

Should be the same thing, right?

Here you go... hacked the file myself. If you have issues with it, sorry! Just to make sure you know, this is the v5512 file with the Hex edited, not just a v5508 file or some such. :)

uxtheme_6.0.2900.5512_EN_checksum.zip

Also, an easy way to patch it is using "Replacer"!

P.S. If this kills your PC, sorry! But it's working fine on mine, see:

UPDATE - Fixed the checksum... let me know if there is anything else I missed!! :)

Neowin needs you for Grafix again man

I have a problem! :(

I installed SP3 from the Windows Update, all fine. Restarted my computer and the current style was Windows Classic. Installed a Uxtheme from this topic and I could change my style again... but only the windows were styled, not the taskbar. The taskbar is still in Windows classic and I can't even apply Windows XP theme. :/

Help... Anyone with the same problem?

See:

because those are meant for vista not xp :)

On the site there is a tool that makes is possible, but its not compatible with SP3.

"If you want to use this theme on any version of Windows XP, you have to download the XP Theme Patcher."

I thought that this patchin tool i get here was the same.

Guess not...?

you shouldn't bump topics... but in this case it worked out for you.

Sounds like your not replacing the old uxtheme.dll

If you read the topic, it gives you this link:

http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/

it will replace files on your PC for you. If that doesn't work, check online for uxtheme replace

Look, I even googled it for you, how to replace it manually:

After replaxing my uxtheme.dll I no longer needed to use StyleXP. In fact I uninstalled it finally.

Thanks a ton for working this one out by the way, I've been trying to correspond with TGTSoft for months before I finally got fed up and decided to see if there was a fix floating around out there.

:)

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
