File Name: Uxtheme MultiPatcher
File Submitter: hamesh
File Submitted: 28 Jul 2004
File Updated: 17 Jul 2008
File Category: Software

Multi-Patcher is a little program that patches your uxtheme.dll file to allow the loading of unsigned Windows XP Themes and XP Visual Styles, like all of those found in our Themes Gallery. It supports the original release of XP, SP1, SP2 and SP3, XP 64bit plus Windows Server 2003.

Multi-Patcher 6.0 features include:
    *Includes themes services which allow you to use visual styles in Windows Server 2003 in the wizard but you can also turn it on or off too during restore.
    *Operation system detection script prevents running the patch again without restarting.
    *Setup CD detection script.
    *Supports Windows XP (original release and SP1, SP2 and SP3), XP 64bit plus Windows Server 2003.
    *Users can restore the previous uxtheme.dll file by running the patch again.
Multi-Patcher is like an evolved PatchXP, with support for more Windows versions, error checking and the easy restore feature is a big plus (as service packs won't install if they sense a patched uxtheme file).

You'll still need to load themes and visual styles manually or use a third-party program, but we've tested it on a number of systems and configurations and highly recommend it over the old patchers.

When you run Multi-Pather, ignore any pop-up windows prompting you to enter your Windows XP CD. Just reboot when prompted.

If you don't want to mess around with all these manual patches, just get TuneUp Utilities 2008. It rocks.

Cool, thanks.

For those of you with SP2 Final installed, the 1.5.1 version of the patcher does not work.

There is a new 2.0 NeoWin Special Version that does work like a charm, just used it on my own system with no problems. Note this version is ONLY for Windows XP Pro SP2 Final.

Download it here:
http://download.neowin.net/nw_uxtheme.zip

Also, be sure to click "CANCEL" on the Windows File Protection dialog that appears during the patch, it will tell you to watch for it.

Good luck!


I clicked on your link for nw_uxtheme but the page did not come up. When will the file be available?

Try WinRAR to extract them. The files are not corrupt but Windows has trouble with zip files, especially if you select to open the file directly from the download dialogue box. Try saving to desktop first, that usually fixes things.

i dont think the problem im having is with this multipatcher here cause i was able to install it fine, but after i download a theme and i try to extract the files to C:WindowsResoucesThemes it says it requires a password. and i looked at the help topics, it says something about a username and password required on download but i dont think this is the same thing cause it only happens when im extracting the files. stinker.gif

I don't know whether this has been posted yet, but after I brought up the thing and hit patch, after that, every time I open MSN Live Messenger is gives me a
"This application has failed to start because MSVRC80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

So I reinstalled it, got the same thing.

So I googled "MSVCR80.dll and downloaded it. I slipped it into my System32 folder and next I got a
"the procedure entry point_chkesp could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCRTD.dll"

-_-

Do you think undoing the patch thingy will fix it? If so, how do you undo the patch thingy?

plz reply yes.gif

No the patch doesn't touch that file or any other dll other than uxtheme. So whatever is causing the problem is unrelated to multipatcher. Some suggestions at http://www.help-xp.com/post-33896.html or google the error. More likely it is some piece of software that was recently installed or updated, or something Windows Update installed.
