why when i installed UXtheme Multi patcher.. there is a pop up and said :
"UXTheme Multi-patcher v.6.0 has detected that ther's any Windows NT setup file in C:\\WINDOWS\i386 It's not recommend you to continue with this. Please eject your WINDOWS NT CD or move that folder to somewhere else"
what should i do from this problem???
please help..
VG
^^ Open "C:\Windows" folder and you'll see a folder "i386" there. Rename this folder to any other name and run UXTheme patcher. Now it'll work. After successfully patching, you can revert back the folder name to original.

sorry.. i refering to the Vista themes or RTM theme for XP.. my windows is XP SP2..
VG
^^ If you have patched uxtheme successfully, then just double-click on .msstyles file and it'll open Display properties. Then apply the theme. It should work.
If it doesnt work, then run UXtheme patcher in Safe Mode.
