i has had my xp patched with uxtheme and it is running on vista themes now. The icons look ugly with the ''ticks'' in the bottom left hand of every icon. What is the reason for the ''ticks'' and is there any way to get rid of it?

Its probably some dodgy feature of the theme.

When I was on XP, I had one that worked fine, I'll have a quick look see if I can find it and I'll post back with a link.

What message?

The best thing to do would be to try a DIFFERENT vista theme, as I said before its probably just a dodgy feauture.

the msg is ''DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll occupied an address range reservered for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contact for a new DLL''

i have tried downloading the microsoft patch of year 2007 but it doesnt work because i am on windows service pack 3 alrdy.How do i cure this problem. I am willing to uninstall uxtheme patcher v6.0 if there is a need but there isnt any uninstall avaiable for download...Applying other vista themes wouldnt work too...

Ok, I think changing the theme will solve the icon problem, I was merely addressing your original problem.

The error message is something different entirely and I would reccommend you start a new thread in the appropriate Forum, headed "Error Message" Or whatever.

Also in your new thread post a Hijack This Log, thats almost certainly the first thing you'll be asked for

Ollie.
