Just installed the patch yesterday on two systems with XP3 (one Home, the other Professional - 32 bit French versions) and come up with a bug.

User accounts that have limited privilege status gives an explorer.exe hex error on login and I have to use the task manager to close the session (no desktop - of course). If I try to login again to ANY account, I get no keyboard input. I have to use the mouse to shutdown and restart to get the system back to \"normal\". I don't see any errors in event viewer.

Accounts with Administrator privilege work fine. The error doesn\'t show up and the DLL works normally. If I change the accounts with limited privilege to Adminsitrator privilege, they work fine. I would like to resolve this, as I don't want to keep Administrator rights for those who should not have them for the patch to work.

Hi, I just downloaded SP3 UxTheme Patcher 1.1 from softpedia site, tryed to execute it, but my antivirus sofware (DrWeb) said that where is a virus in this file - DLOADER.Trojan.
So what should I do?

[Damian666]

first of all, welcome man

and secondly, try dl it from the link given here, and check again.
if it still gives that warning, then i think you need a good anti virus man

try nod32, its good, and doesnt give false warnings like that :d

have fun.

Downloaded SP3 UxTheme Patcher 1.1 from here, and still have the same problem with DrWeb, I guess I will just ignore it.

P.S.
Problem solved!
Todays DrWeb update fix this problem, it's no longer gives that warning...
