I cant view my XP Themes anymore

I upgraded to windows SP3 and it wiped out all of my themes and the patch that allowed me to see the themes. Where can i get the patch? (I forgot )

I needed to upgrade so i can use my Sidewinder X6 Keyboard for my PC. But it didnt work. But thats not the point.

Not understanding what you mean by patch.

Stardock doesn't use patches to run WindowBlinds. Are you running something other than WBs to apply themes? Seems to me I remember a recent post about the same thing.

I'm on an XP system and have SP3. It didn't do anything to break WBs.

I use the normal thing. I dont run window blinds. It slowed down my studio software.

and it was something that, im sure, went under C:\i### thing.

Are you sure you were using Windowblinds themes or maybe StyleXP that can require a patch. If however you are just using some patch to crack legal software you would be on your own.

patch + SP3 = themes no work == not WindowBlinds

and the patch that allowed me to see the themes

the patch is not 'normal' so this can't be right:

I use the normal thing.

windows doesn't need a patch to run it themes or any signed themes

the patch is to hack windows and convince it to run unsigned themes

Where can i get the patch?

google has it

They are Custom usermade themes.

Now, I downloaded once that i trusted. Its a UXTHEME.dll

Is that right?

it's a patched(hacked) uxtheme.dll

you just need to find a safe place to get the best version

Try deviantart - a lot of them use a patch

Yeah, surf DeviantArt and look for uxtheme patch. But make sure you get the one for XPSP3 or God knows what might happen. Or maybe look at WinMatrix or Neowin Forums, I have not used them myself, but there quite a few 3rd Party Skinners that use those sites.
