Since Windows XP SP3 Final version has been released, most of the people are using it in their systems. If you are also using SP3 in Windows XP and unable to use 3rd party themes, then download this new UXtheme Patcher:

Download Windows XP SP3 UXtheme Patcher

Run the EXE file and click on "Patch" button. It'll take a few seconds and then you can restart your system to take effect.

This patcher works in SP3 RTM version only. If you are using SP3 Beta or RC version, then I'll advise you to not use this patcher. You can download the required patched "UXtheme.dll" file from following link and then copy it to "%windir%\System32" folder using "Replacer":

    ^^ All Beta and RC versions contain timebomb so you can't use them forever. If you are still using SP3 in your system, it means its RTM. You can check the timebomb time by providing "winver" command in RUN dialog box.

    I've used the replacer to try to patched the .dll file for Style XP & got the Theme I was using before I installed the SP3. But I still can't 'enable' the Style XP programme to change my themes and things. How do I fix this?
