    Everytime I go to use the theme it doesn’t work. I install it in the themes folder in windows>resources. then i go to apply it in tuneup utilities and it says to amke sure that the file is a valid visual style for your OS (vista)

    Scott:
    I believe there is an article in life rocks on how to patch vista to use a third party theme, if not, Google “allow themes vista” and you’ll find what you need.
