I have tried downloading and running this patch four times in the last two hours. As you can probably guess I'm not too happy with the outcome- nothing happens! The uxtheme.dll file is in my WIN32 folder, but doesn't seem to be any change in the way my Appearance and Themes "Styles" drop down menu works at all.
I've read various posts all over the net that say different things about what is supposed to happen...but to tell you the truth I'm totally confused. Call me a software-n00b 'cause I'm a hardware girl myself and this stuff drives me crazy!
To clear things up, I'm actually using the 4.0 version because of the WINNT system file issue with version 5.0 (I was sick of trying to find those stupid files- i386 has a lot of junk in it!) and people say that the older version works fine. Either way, nothing seems to be working.
My system runs MicrosoftWinXP Media Center Edition v.2002 SP2. I've never had an issue with patches of any kind before so
...Help? *sniff*
Figured out the problem. My anti-virus software was not allowing the Patch to mess around with my system files, so I disabled it (temporarily of course) and it works great. :3
