Well, I have pretty much had to do clean install on my rig. Due to the fact that when I first installed SP3 after I have slipped stream my nvraid (6.86) software into windows xp/sp2, which by the way is now a successful install including all the hot fixes. However, there seems to be a downside to it, where uxthemepatch.dll is not supported on sp3. Well, I guess i can live without for a few months until there's an update for uxthempatch.dll.

Or, is there another way of installing Themes in windows xp with sp3 already installed?
