- A freeware utility for Windows XP
- that enables use of non-Microsoft themes.
- NB: Does NOT work with OEM versions of Windows XP atm.!

- About:
-
- PatchXP is a small program that modifies your current
- version of uxtheme.dll so Windows XP can use non-Microsoft themes.
- The program is only replacing the dll's at this moment,
- and is NOT editing any files on your harddrive.
- The program does also have a unpatch option, that replaces the new
- uxtheme.dll's with the originials. The Unpatch option does only work
- if you have already patched it with this program.
-
- Howto:
- - First Uninstall any version of StyleXP, or similar program you got.
- - Unzip PatchXP.zip to any folder
- - Run PatchXP.exe
- - Click "Patch" (You will recieve a message saying that the patch was sucessful)
- - Click "Reboot"
-
- If you want to unpatch, follow the same procedure, only click "Unpatch"
- UnPatch will NOT work if you haven't used the Patch option at first!
-
- Problems:
- If you encounter any problems (patching doesn't appear to work etc.) the try the
- following:
- 1. Do a searh for any file named uxtheme.dl_ and rename it/them to uxtheme.bak,
- then run PatchXP again (remeber to search for hidden files and folders too).
- 2. Remove any present Windows XP CD(s) from your cd-rom(s)
- 3. Check if your SP1 build has buildnumber: 1106
