UX theme patch

[static_geek]

"....has detected WIN NT setup files in CD or in the partition......move your setup files to other path......"

:unsure: :blush:

Which patch you using?

[static_geek]

the latest, Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patch v1.01. I've tried all the others,including installing and uninstalling StyleXp...but none of the patches work.,so this is my last resort.

Try this? :) ....

Radish?

uxtheme.dll_patch_for_MS_WinXP_SP1.rar

What is the file extension that uxtheme.dll supports?

*.theme or *.mmstyles, apparently, *.theme doesn't work for me?

That probably means you have deleted the default Luna.theme file from C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes ....

Tried that your Radishness......but the instructions have gone the way of xp-erience.

Might you have their instructions?

[RadishTM Veteran]

The installer does everything for you :yes:, just un-install any prior uxtheme.dll patch e.g. Neowin's Patch, reboot your PC, apply the patch I have given and the patch will tell you to reboot your PC :) ....

ARe you sure you are trying to install it on XP? And if so was the XP an updated version rather than a clean install?

[uniacidz]

Use the one i have attached to post, extract it to a easy to locate folder. eg, c drive.

Reboot, go to safe mode using F8

Once in, unhide all folder by going to My Computer/tool/folder options/View tab and scroll down and uhide all folder and then scroll down more and unhide all system files., Get a warning and click ok.

Replace the uxtheme.dll files in these directories/folders with the one in the attachment

Service Pack Folder(if you have that folder, generally will have this folder when upgrading to SP1)

Dllcache(might not be in there, but check anyhow)

System32(if cant replace, rename first then replace)

Done, reboot normally and all shall be well.

New computer for 40th b-day(saturday).HP with WinXP home SP1 already installed.

Even tried turnin uxtheme.dll to *.bak after install of patch and reregistering the .dll,but no change......

Congrats for your birthday :cake:

Strange regarding the error about NT Setup files though, only time ive seen similar was when a friend somehow managed to install XP over the top of Win2k.

Give what Davey suggested a try, that was what I was about to suggest next for you anyway, a manual install .. I always find it better to change the DLL manually as you know for sure then that it is being replaced. I

Thanks guys, I'll give it shot and get bak to ya!

No worries man, glad that its working for you. Enjoy.

Ghost Cloud - SP1 has been out almost a year now and most people have updated to it. I suggest you do also for security reasons. If the computer you are on is a work computer and your admin has not updated, then go up to him and slap him across the face.

But here you go, follow the same instructions i gave out in a earlier post

Cheers

Lazy admins :rofl: ....

Radish?

[uniacidz]

Ghost Cloud.

Also, i have located the original Uxtheme Patcher for non SP1 systems.

Now good luck.

EDIT

Now in this thread, you have patchers and files for non SP1 and SP1 systems and a guide also if the patchers dont work for you.

Happy theming

Glad you got it working now [source] (Its hard for us old fogies coping with these new fangled pewter things, I always thought my mug was made out of pewter :))

[static_geek]

Thinks in my case(pun intended) it's more of the last avenue b4 general frustration takes over. :wacko:

I am a newbie here with this. Do you just run the installer .exe file and it does all the patching etc for you or do you have to copy and paste files in folders??

Thanks for your help
