Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 installed on my PC, I tried to install Blue Progress Bar. Installation went ok, but even after reboot I am unable to get Aero working now after restoring my Aero theme. No error message during installation, and I replaced aero.msstyles manually into aero's folder. Can it be an SP1 problem as aero.msstyles has not the same size and date than the original one. ? Blue progress bar aero.msstyles is dated 5/08/2009 and 1195.520 bytes long. Your help will be very appreciated
Tanks you steven4554, The rar achive of the "Blue Progressbar" already contain the two versions of UxStyle Core (x86 and x64). I have followed carefully the readme, but unfortunately when choosing my aero theme, it won"t load aero. I keep the basic theme (not wallpaper) I put just for installation. I made a restore point before, tried again but no luck .. I must say I am lost ..
Hopefully I have a full image of my partition, so I will restore it without messing with repairing Windows I just downloaded Universal Theme Patcher, I will try it now. Edit : No way to get it working with aero. I still keep basic ... I think something into the aero.msstyles file replaced does not match the updated file previously into the Aero folder. The original file is dated 21-11-2010 and 1171,088 bytes long. (Maybe SP1 ?) The patched file is date 5-08-2009 and 1195,520 bytes long.
I finally get it to work.. With a lot of patience ... I had to re-install UxStyle Core x64 AFTER disabling my Antivirus (Avast) Something was silently blocked. I patched themes using the Unviversal Theme Patcher (Thanks Tito) and installed the aero.msstyles manually. After reboot the I was able to re-enable the Aero.
