    First, there is a difference between 1) Themes, and 2) Visual Styles. What it sounds like is that you are trying to apply Themes that include modded visual styles (msstyles). If you try to apply these modded visual styles to original Windows they will not work. You would first have to patch the theme files in Windows. You can do this with an apps like Universal Theme Patcher or UXtheme Patcher. These apps will patch the system files responsible for displaying visual styles. Are you on a new install or did you install SP1 and not patch the files again, etc?

    Yes, that should fix it for you. That app should do everything automatically for you, just run it and OK it. :) And reboot to be sure of course.
