I figured out the problem. In short, here it is and my solution.

Each time I would use a tool to overwrite the uxtheme.dll, my computer would automatically update to the original uxtheme.dll. What I had to do to resolve this issue was to copy the uxtheme.dll to my C:\ drive. This uxtheme.dll is the new one to replace the old, dated 8.30.2002 11:29 PM, not the 8.29.2002 original one. I then rebooted my pc with my XP Pro cd, went into the recovery/repair console and copyed the uxtheme.dll from C:\ to C:\WINDOWS\system32. I had to overwrite the original dll with the modified one. This fixed my problem.

I hope this helps users with similar situations.

Thanks.

I have tried this countless times to install the MultiPatcher 1.5.1. I am running XP Pro (5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600). I am not having any success with the multipatcher on this computer.

I have installed the MultiPatcher on 3 other computers with success, both running the same XP Pro os. Two of these are virtual machines and one is a laptop. The computer which is not responding is a desktop.

Do you have any idea why the MultiPatcher is not responding on one box but it does on the others?

Thanks.
