Themes doesn’t work

[Haziel]

I tried to install (following all the steps with no exceptions on this page: http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/win2008r2/themes) but when I try to set a theme, I got this message:

“Your system administrator has disabled launching of the Display Control Panel.”

No matter how far I look for a solution, didn’t find nothing helpful.

Thanks.

Open Regedit and Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem

Locate “NoDispCPL” and check the value. A value of 1 means the setting is enabled which means the display will be displayed, a setting of 0 means its disabled and thus the Display control panel applet will be allowed to run. Check this registry key to see if it is the culprit.
If this value does not exist, create a new key below Policies called System and then create a new DWORD value called “NoDispCPL” with a decimal value of 0 and hit refresh.

If this solution doesn’t work or doesn’t apply to you, open up group policy and navigate to User Configuration > Control Panel

Check the “hide specified control panel items” and see if “display” or something similar is on list.
Similarily, try the “show only specified control panel items” and check to see if display or something similar is NOT on the list. Report back with your findings.

I had same problem. I have fixed it by restoring old files.

Just go to WindowsSystem32 folder and find these three files:
shsvcs.dll.backup
themeui.dll.backup
uxtheme.dll.backup

Delete “backup”. If you want to run Aero theme you have to make it manually and it works.

Those backup files only exist due to a uxtheme patcher.

The “.backup” ones are actually the originals.

Problem is the system won’t allow you to delete the modified ones even if you disable windows explorer. I just rebooted into Recovery mode (aka Repair you computer) open command prompt, changed directory to c:windowssystem32 and ran:

del shsvcs.dll
del themeui.dll
del uxtheme.dll
then I renamed .backups to originals:

ren shsvcs.dll.backup shsvcs.dll
ren themeui.dll.backup themeui.dll
ren uxtheme.dll.backup uxtheme.dll

Computer rebooted with Aero like normal.
