UXTheme.DLL

posted on November 30th, 2009, 8:44 pm

Just installed Armada 2 on my laptop.  Tried to run it and I get an immediate crash before anything comes up.  I have attached the dump file.  Seems to complain about at uxtheme.dll.  I tried google and even tried replacing the DLL with older versions to no success.  I read a previous post on this but did not see a fix posted.  Any thoughts on how to get it running?

I am experiencing the same exact problem under Windows XP Professional SP-3.  I believe that this service pack update is incompatible with the Armada2.exe program.

Hmm, I used Win XP sp3 and I had no problems.  The devs said it has to go with your system configuration. *shrugs*

What is even weirder for me is fleetops works just fine.  Just not vanilla armada 2.  with or without patch project installed.

uxtheme.dll has to do with your windows theme so if you have cracked or changed uxtheme.dll (to use 3rd party windows themes for example) then it might not work but it should not be a problem, if you have not patched yours then idk what to tell you and wait for a dev to come around
