• How to install themes for windows Vista?

  I tried several times to install themes, but nothing happens. I went to help and support and all he said was to open the theme file. But did not work. Any advise?

  If you talk to install themes not included with Vista, there is a special procedure for this:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-patch-windows-vista-to-enable-custom-themes-visual-styles/.  It is a little advanced, but if you follow the steps one at a time and take your time to do, you can get there.  Then you should be able to install and use new themes.

  If you mean simply by changing the themes that are already installed, here's a tutorial on this process:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/87194-theme-settings.html.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Do you mean the key to WPA encryption?

  If you're lucky, it could be on a label on your router access point / wireless.

  If this isn't the case, you must query your access point/router admin pages to find out what it is.

  To help others, we will need to know the brand and model of your router / wireless access point. Please do the following...

  • Click Start
  • Click on run
  • Type cmd and press enter
  • In the black window that result, type ipconfig and return success

  Furthermore, your printer can still be attributed with the WPA key, ask your printer 8500 via its Panel and look for the network settings. There may even be an option "print network settings page.
