CH!P Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 You need to have Service Pack 2 or it wont work. Just get it off Window's update and then install UX Theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 i came off it as soon as it said it was going to change files but the little box cam up. it hasnt changed anything as far as i can see and i dont think it could have seen as i didnt click it i just want a second ( or third fourth,fifth,sixth,seventh...) opinion as i think its weird that the box still came up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 The windows file protection box? Read what the patcher says!!!!! That always pops up you just wait a minute then cancel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) Are you talking about the file protection system that comes up when you go to install it, the thing that it tells you to ignore?

Spikenipple Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Do you actually have SP2 installed? If not, why don't you install the uxtheme.dll for SP1? :blink: the r0x0r! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 the r0x0r! ← = Spyware bundled themes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Do you actually have SP2 installed? ← The UXTheme Multi-Patcher v2.5.1 has been created for Neowin by WindowsX and Vorte[x]. It patches the UXTheme.dll for Windows XP/SP1/SP2 Beta/RTM and 2003 and allows you to use un-signed custom visual styles. http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikenipple Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Alright, alright :blink: I've never had a problem with spyware or adware coming from themexp's packages. On a different note, are yee a Neowinian aswell? 'SpikePringlesBro' :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I've never had a problem with spyware or adware coming from themexp's packages. ← They've changed them recently though, and now they're all bundled with a load of shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Weird, I downloaded some themes just 2 days ago and they were just zip files with only the required theme, wallpaper and icon files in :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikenipple Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 My point exactly, i downloaded a few about three weeks ago and they only had the needed files :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I know, I was replying to what Tomm said about them bundling their themes with crap :blink: ThemeXP themes tend to be pretty crappy from what ive experienced though.

Spikenipple Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I haven't actually ever come across a different site before, so ThemeXP is what i tend to use to get whatever i need. Could you point me in the direction of other theme sites please? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
