O.P. Dodgy Themes
Why when I download themes and open the .msstyles (Windows Visual Style File) it always appears like this:

I've tried extracting it to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes but it still happens.

I download themes and all you get is the .msstyles file, I thought you have the have a folder with a folder in it called 'Shell' and some other files, like you have with Luna (Win XP Theme), etc. :huh:

Sorry, forgot to mention, it goes to Windows Classic. :-\

Boston: I can change the theme back easily, so there is no need for system restore.

Yeah, it's running.

I'll unpatch it, reboot, then patch it again. :)
Edit: Still happening :sad:

hmm, have you patched it, if you have, unpatch it by running the uxteme patch then reboot, then patch it again.

also

go to

control panel > administrative tools > services. then look for themes and make shure it is running.

EDIT: old screen shot was slightly wrong :$.

themes aren't supposed to show up when the service isn't running.
