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.

:)

    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
