    The patch worked before I upgraded. Custom windows theme doesn't work at all. Take ownership won't work, an error saying it can't import it to the registry, opening regedit and importing it from there gives the same error. I manually took full ownership of the three files..."shsvcs.dll, themeui.dll, and uxtheme.dll" from the user created admin. profile but the admin. profile I made which also has full rights isn't showing up on the security tab for the "shsvcs.dll and uxtheme.dll" and in result, doesn't delete saying that the file is in use. Under the security tab it lists "System, built in admin., users, and trusted installer." The file version for all three is for SP1, but the product version is non-SP1 32 bit. I've tried to patch in safe mode and the user created admin. profile under windows classic theme, but it still say's the files are in use and won't delete. I'm not really sure what else to do. I don't want to go any further and completely mess up my laptop.

    Found where I made the mistakes, I didn't know you can add users to the security tab. Now it works.
