uxtheme.dll Problem

[Antallica]

I'm trying to install uxthemepatcher..... ok this is what happens......... I get the uxtheme.pat file in the C:\windows\system32 directory and when I rename the uxtheme.dll file to uxtheme.bak (as intructions suggest) the renamed uxtheme.dll file is automatically replaced with the original after about 4 seconds.

I have renamed the uxtheme.pat file to .dll before the original appears but the original overwrites it automatically.

Anyone know why it's replacing it and/or know of a solution?

First of all make sure you don't have your WinXP cd in the drive, I think you also need to make sure you clear the dll cache.

I didn't have any trouble with mine, it did say that I had some "bad" files on my computer and would I like to replace them with authentic files, but you just click "NO SOD OFF" and everythings fine.

I hate to pimp other forums, but if you check out www.neowin.net there will be something there, just do a search on the forums.


Good luck man

My mates xp is doing it as well, however the cleared cache didn't fix it (I suspect crappy PC Company software setup)

Oh and Ant, I had trouble the first time I tried it, but a couple of reboots and another attempt and it was all spicky-doo :D
