you'll have to go into safemode command prompt, and use commands to rename the old uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old then move your new one in its place. Do this twice for dllcache and system32

ok... now i gotta find the command to reanme the old one.. i havent used command promt for a while i thinks its REN rite?

I found this from the win2k3 site, should work:

Copy UXTheme.dll to C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache

save the following as uxthemepatch.cmd in notepad:

@ECHO OFF
ren %SystemRoot%\system32\uxtheme.dll uxtheme.bak
copy %SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\uxtheme.dll %SystemRoot%\system32\

echo You now may reboot!
echo.(Press CTRL+ALT+DEL simultaneously and select Shut
echo.Down from the window that appears)

Copy the uxthemepatch.cmd to the root of your C:\ drive

Reboot into Safe Mode Command Prompt (Press F8 upon booting)

Once the Command Prompt has loaded, type cd\ followed by enter, then type uxthemepatch followed by enter.
