It always takes me to recovery tools, which aren’t able to help me…

Hi VG!
I have downloaded both Universal Theme Patcher and VistaGlass patcher, but they both don’t work. It says “No System Patch Available for your Windows Version”
π
and what about the windows 7 problem? are you all facing it?
^^ When it automatically starts system recovery, did you try to repair boot loader?
@Razorbone
Which Windows 7 edition are you using?
@Jeet Chowdhury
Its only for Windows Basic.
@VG yes I did, but no gainβ¦
I’ll tell you what happense, after selecting windows 7 from the win8 boot menu, black screen appears as if win7 would boot, butaoon after the cpu turns off and restarts with system recovery options. And none of them worked for me
I can’t get this theme to work in windows 7 starter. Have installed vista glazz and followed all instructions. Any advice?
Hai Vishal!
I want to work this theme on Win 7 ultimate.Any advice?
^^ This theme will work in all Windows 7 editions but you’ll need to disable Aero Glass to be able to use this theme.
Hai Vishal!
I disabled the DWM process and then applied this theme.Still it’s not working.Please help.I am using Laptop and i want to preserve the battery life.
^^ Disable DWM service using Service Manager and then try to re-apply theme.
Hai Vishal,
Sorry to say that your method doesn’t work.I have patched my system.I am currently using Win8 RTM for win7.(only for battery life)
^^ First try to apply default Windows Basic theme and then apply this new theme. Sorry but I cant help much as I’m on Windows 8.
Never install any custom themes on Windows until you have backed up your registry, custom themes require a hack to bypass the in built theme detection. Basically allowing you to sign custom themes as genuine on launch. This has an adverse effect, as the custom themes can sometimes overlap or even replace existing themes.
^^ Installing custom themes doesnt have anything to do with Registry. Its absolutely safe to use.
when i copied it over in to resources folder and applied it it went to classic and the top is just plain black (Not racist)
