does anybody know what process UXTHEME uses cuz when I try to replace it with the hacked one it say that it cant because it is being used, what process is it so I can close it and copy it......
 
yeah that sounds about right - start > run > services.msc

or you can just boot into safe mode with F8 on startup, which is probably easier and you are less likely to accidentally stop something vital...
 
If that doesn't work you can also use the file I attached. It is the old style xp that is just a hacked uxtheme.dll. It was one of the first betas they released, before MS threw a fit.

IT IS NOT A CRACK OR WAREZ. IT IS NOT ANYTHING BAD
Don't want the moderators to flip out. :p
 
u can do it w/out being in safe mode


1) Assuming your system directory is c:\windows\system32 go into the
directory c:\windows\system32\dllcache. This directory may be hidden.
If it is, you need to unhide it to see it, or use the command prompt.

2) Rename the uxtheme.dll file in dllcache to uxtheme.bak (or some other
name).

3) Rename any uxtheme.dl_ or uxtheme.dll that might be found in other
locations on your system such as c:\i386 or the place where you
installed Windows(r) XP from.

4) Make sure you have NO CDs in your system (especially the Windows(r) XP
install CD!).

5) Assuming your system directory is c:\windows\system32 go into the
directory c:\windows\system32. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.bak or
some other name. Copy uxtheme.pat to uxtheme.dll.

6) You might get a warning from Windows System File Protection. You need
to answer the two questions properly, and on your own volition to
ensure that the uxtheme.dll file is not replaced with the original.

7) If all goes well, the uxtheme.dll will be the same DATE and TIME as
the uxtheme.pat. If this is the case, REBOOT. Do not logoff, you need
a full reboot


ps.

this tip i get it from a website or forum, cant remember ijust copy/paste in notepad.....it works for me

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
