Do not insert your CD at this time. After uve cancelled all Windows File Protection, click the Finish button to exit and restart you computer." there's "ok" button and when i click..it says that i need to restaart the conmputer...and when i restart my computer. nothings happen....

huhu! its so hard to do this.....
VG
^^ Yes. Nothing will happen. You need to just run the patcher and restart the system. I think your system has been patched. Try to apply the theme by running .msstyles file.
