Please help. I have no idea how to install Visual Styles for Vista. It's not like XP, where you could just slap the MSSTYLE in the themes folder, double click it, and there you go.

This shit is complicated. Could anyone help?

I was trying to follow this tutorial: http://downtheory.deviantart.com/art/WinVista-How-To-Install-A-VS-85740782

You have to manually patch the required files as stated in that tutorial (I assume you're using Service Pack 1), so if you're unwilling or unsure as how to modify the files he lists, I wouldn't do it for risk of messing up your Vista installation.

I never installed SP1. Though, I got the Theme Patcher (VistaGlazz) and I put the MSSTYLE in the folder, and it still doesn't work :\

E: Nvmd, I got it to work:

Bump & Lock

See above Post^

I forgot to extract ALL the installation files out of the folder, so of course it wouldn't work. Silly me
