guys, i applied the uxtheme patch and it didn't work. so i re-ran the app again cause it was supposed to make a backup copy and let it put the backup copy back on. got another version of uxtheme patcher and it did the same thing. and finally i got a third version and it didn't work either.

so now i'm stuck with the classic menu and thats it. i need some help on getting the uxtheme patch working. anyone have just the .dll file itself so i won't have to mess with the patcher not working? or know how to get it working?

i hate the classic menu.

thanks.

Wich version of XP are you running ?

I'm running the SP2 2082 and this is mine ;)

nah, i don't run beta sp's. i'm still running sp1.

Style XP is working with the SP1 :lol:

What is the build number of your version because I have many of them

ahh, finally found the right patch utility. it was called patcherxp for sp1. i've got visual styles now. woohoo. :) :) :D

will leave this thread open in case anyone wants the patcher i used. just reply and i'll attach it.

well i had to reformat again and now i can't get any of these patchers to work. can someone either post here every site they know where to get a patcher.

here is what i have done:

i have updated my windows using windows update and installed everything, but windows media player 9 and its codecs. now last time i had installed media player 9, would this have made a difference?

thanks.
