xp theme failure

by aQUTE • 1 Nov 2008, 12:10 • Journals
after a windows update...my current theme (area o4.2 by heylove) is not working anymore :S and i reinstalling it failed also :(
image: MyDesktop

my windows now looks like the classic windows theme.. grey and boring.


- does anyone experienced the same problem and came up with a solution?
- does anyone know a similar theme for me to use instead?

thanks in advance

maybe try that allowtheme thing(forgotname)? it can be disabled therefore it blocks the theme

try using stylexp to apply your themes

what did you use to apply the theme in the first place?

ux has released newer version with sp3 support.

It's because you've updated to SP3 when the UXTheme patch is active, you MUST unpatch, reboot, then install SP3. I had to reinstall Windows when this happened last.

i now used a new patch that should work for sp3, but on reboot, i got this error:
"onherstelbare systeemfout" (unrecoverable system error) ...
im no pro in computers...but this does not look good. do you know what to do? i am now on the internet in Safe Mode, that seems to be the only thing that works.
maybe reinstall windows? do i have to make backups before that?
