How to install a downloaded vista themes

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas:

  • themes
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

This depends on the version and the number of the SP of Vista you use - some work, others do not (the limitations are in the article):http://www.ehow.com/how_5568892_install-desktop-theme-vista.html.

Here is another procedure that was designed for Vista Basic, but I imagine it will work on other versions as well (and may work where the process above does not work):

First download Windows Vista UxTheme patch.
And follow these steps to install:
Step 1: How to install
1. log in as a user who has privileges - or - have administrative credentials ready (look under the keyboard for a piece of paper).
2. navigate to %systemroot%\System32
3 right-click uxtheme.dll, and then click Properties.
4. appropriating the file and close the dialog boxes.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll
6. click uxtheme.dll and click Properties.
7 give you (or group) permissions full control and close dialog boxes.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll.
9. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old.
10. Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old.
11. Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old.
12. copy the patches files into %systemroot%\System32
13 reset (Yes, it is really necessary)

Step 2:
download a Visual Style of Windows Vista, and then copy the theme to the Windows/resources/Themes folder.
Step 3: Right-click on the desktop and click on personalize. On the page which opens, click on theme and choose your newly installed theme!

I hope at least one of these plans will help you with the installation.

Good luck!

    Hi, I bought photoshop elements 14 and Premier 14 yesterday.  I downloaded the files that took a long time, absolutely.  Then it said it was organizing files, but gives no clue of how to install.  I do not see a .exe file in whats downloaded — I can't find th listed programs:

    (why can't we just go back to the purchase of a disk and typing 'run' and happens automatically!)

    You CAN buy a disc, but no Adobe... go to a site like Amazon to buy the boxed version

  • How to install CS2 downloaded update on the new Machine Win7

    Hi, I have a purchased version and downloaded from CS2 I want to install on my new Win7 computer.  However, I don't see an installer from the package.

    How to install this?

    Noel, thanks for stalking me on this subject.

    I fear that I had not installed this in so long, I had mistaken for a destination for the PhSp_CS2_UE_Upg folder folder, I have.  I (several copies), and it certainly contains a current setup.exe, should be.

    I was about to update to CS5, (I still do), and I was about to reinstall Win7, which I didn't do really, but maybe I did a couple of system restores to try to undo reg entries...   I hope I don't have to, but I do not really right now.

    I'm sure it will work.  (I'll wait until tomorrow to install it...  I need a beer...)

    Sorry to be frustrated!  I was definitely in the wrong and I appreciate you of course the people stick with me and helping me to understand this.

    See you soon,.

  • Satellite L40 - 18W - how to install XP on Vista

    Please someone explain to me step by step procedure to install XP over Vista.
    When I try to install the XP it shows error the hard drive cannot be detected.

    Please help me...

    Hello

    In this case, I can only say that it sometimes useful to search the forum to find threads with the same question here. What about that XP doesn t detect a HARD drive, you will find hundreds of son or more.

    Anyway, the magic word is Intel Storage Manager. On all laptop computers with SATA HDD, you need SATA drivers that need to be integrated during the installation.

    Ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • How to install fixitcenter for vista 64-bit

    I could not install fixitcenter program on my laptop. (vista 64 bit)

    This show of error on the desktop:

    "fix installation Center has encountered an error.

    an unexpected error has occurred. Please close try to run Setup again later. »

    Please help me how I can solve and install this program.

    It is possible that the installation requires you to be connected to the internet and required to help with the installation page is currently unavailable.  All you can do is as it says, try again later (I cant get onto the version online because of a problem at the moment-so maybe it's the same problem that is causing your problem).

    You can try to download it again in the event that your initial download was bad.   Save it to your desktop.  Right-click on it and click on run as administrator (in case this is useful).  Make sure that you are connected to the internet when you are installing.  Here's a download site: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Microsoft-Fix-it-Center/1271432341/1.

    You realize that Microsoft Fix - it Online Center is still availalble and this program is not necessary unless you work in offline mode (and it may need to go online to help even in this case).  Troubleitcenter.support. Microsoft.com is also a beta product so there will be some bugs in which can lead to problems or do not work as it should - it may be better to wait until it is officially released - but it's up to you..

    For now, the error you have given (if accurate and complete) does not suggest a Vista problem, but a problem with the installer or the process.  Try the above, but basically be patient.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to install the windows vista of batch updates?

    Hi, after re-installation of the operating system (Vista Ultimate x 86), I downloaded and saved all relevant updates
    (I want to reinstall the same OS and updates Virtual Box and I didn't download all updates twice).
    Now I'm looking for a simple way (script) to install all updates in one batch, with no restart.
    I looked at a program called vLite, but after installation and before he could be executed, it requires one almost 1.4 GB
    Additional downloads, resembling an overdose. The BatchPatch is a great network, not a single system running VB.
    I've also seen some parts of the script, but they were not clear enough for me - I'm a geek, or IT.
    If someone has a script that might work, please list in its entirety and a form that is understandable even by a drunken sailor.
    Thank you!

    I saw this code:

    I don't understand. Should I repeat the line (for %% in (Windows6. 1 - KB * .msu) don't call: msin % F) for each update with the appropriate number, or what?

  • How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

    Hello

    I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
    When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

    But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
    I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

    How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

    I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

    If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

    Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you
    Shane

    If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

    Return to your partitions.
    When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
    WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
    -C for Vista partition
    Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

    Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

    So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
    -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
    -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

    That's all I can say from my experience with such things.
