This question has already been answered many times.  :ouch:
You must copy all extracted files on C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes !
If it doesn't work, you will have to patch your UXTheme.dll (to do this, just download and run Neowin.net Multi-Pacher).
Note that if you have installed a BricoPack, it's already done.  :oui:

 

This is how to install a "normal" visual style.
If you were speaking about vista 1.2, you must have installed Windowblinds (the transparency effect needs the complete ($19.95) version).  :wink:

 

I hope it will help you.
And welcome on CrystalXP.  :jap:

I have done exactly as outlined. Except, my theme/style is with an extension .msstyle. It does not work. I have the latest Bricopack installed so I am assuming UXtheme.dll is patched. However, I have also tried with the Newwin unxtheme patcher, but i don't get any style except the 'Windows Classic' one.

 

Is there a way to 'check' if there's something wrong?

Normally yes, did you have the BricoPack visual style?

As I have already said, try different uxtheme patchers.  :mdr:
Some are more efficient in certain conditions.
Maybe try this one.  :neutral:

 

Good luck.  :great:
