XP SP 3 Problem

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/xp-sp-3-problem.93175/

I installed the SP3 given in the June DVD of Digit. Now I cannot change my Theme. No matter whichever one I select, it doesn't changes only the animation that says Please Wait is displayed and nothing changes. The XP I'm using had Vista Transformation Pack preinstalled in it with few registry hacks like Copy To, Move To etc. Also please tell me how can I create a bootable XP SP3 DVD from my current installation coupled with few softwares of my own choice?

VTP is not workable on xp sp3.
uninstall it.

The question is that now my boot screen and theme is Windows default no matter which Theme I select . What is the probable problem and its solution, please help

Get the latest UXTheme patcher for SP3 which will allow you to use custom visual styles. If you want those Vista-like animations and effects, try the Vista Inspirat Bricopack from CrystalXP.net. It's much better than VTP, IMHO.

Thanks a lot, UX Patcher did the trick. I downloaded the Brico Pack but didn't installed it because before taking the plunge wanted to clarify the issue that is it permanent like Transformation Pack or can be un installed?

Don't worry, Bricopack can be easily uninstalled. It places all its files in a folder named Bricopacks in the Windows directory and takes a backup of any files it replaces.
