I just installed Vista Inspirat 2

A problem occured when i noticed that even after i rebooted, the start bar (bar at the bottom) remained classic.
it didnt turn to vista like i wanted it..

i tried going through the properties by right clicking it, nothing helped.

anyone know how to solve this/??
btw, this computer has SP2, not SP3

thanks,

before i install the program, it says it detected windows NT setup file,.. says to termiate the NT setup file.. then continue
then it goes Cwindows//i386 or something
should i uninstall vista inspirat first?
so

uninstall vista inspirat 2, then install this uxtheme, then install vista?

or

Did you installed SP3 last time ? Or any other Window-Update ?

The problem is that the uxteheme.dll is replaced so you can`t use Visual-Styles, usualy Bricopacks fix that.

Read this if you install SP3 with a Bricopack

If you have SP2, choose the link fpr SP2, if you installed SP3 choose the link for SP3  

You doN`t need to uninstall the bricopack only by installing the Patcher

hm..
thats strage

ive never even made an attempt to install SP3
i still have SP2 and i clicked the SP2 link.
when i click it though, it says in a tiny box
... has detected a windows NT setup file. Continuing this could affect your computer. Cwindows//i836we advise you terminate the file and then continue. click ok to terminate this download

hm... i guess ill just try and install SP3.
thanks

Yes, strange ...

Here is another Patcher for SP3  

this is what i am at:
uninstalled vista inspirat
installed sp3
installed vista inspirat
installed UXTender and patch
rebooted several times

my bar is still at the classic. i cant get it to vista style.
got any more ideas?

I'm having the same problem, the taskbar stays classic style.
I am running Windows XP Pro with SP2. I tried installing the SP2 patch, and an error popped out, basically saying that the patch can't recognize my OS  
So I thought, wth, I'll try the SP3 patch too. When I opened it, it said on the patch that it's for both SP2 / SP3, so I installed it, but I got nothing.
After a reboot, the taskbar stays classic. I hope someone can help with this, thanks.

tg43v3r and ReiZero, does the default XP visual style work for you [Luna]?

If Luna don`t work check check the Theme service. If the service is not running, Windows reverts to the classic Windows styles. Perform the following:
 
1. Click Start, Run.
2. Type services.msc and click OK
3. Double-click Themes.
4. Set to Automatic under Startup

Luna works...
What does the fact that it works mean?

It means that you have not patched the UxTheme.dll properly. Try this patcher [if you have SP3 installed].

As I was saying, I don't have SP 3, only SP 2, and I had already installed that patch, got nothing.
I installed it again, this time it messed up my Windows explorer, I couldn't start it, I kept getting this error:

Bad Image - The apliccation or DLL C:\WINDPWS\system32\UxTheme.dll is not a valid Windows Image. Pleage check this against your installation diskette.

I had to use the Task Manager Run function to get into system32 and delete the dll...

I think I'll just give up installing Bricopacks >_>

When you install a Bricopack usualy you don`t need to patch the uxtheme.dll manually  

Do you have any kind of Antivirus-Software/Adawarescanner running while use the patcher ?
(maybe try it in safemode, press F8 during bootprocess - the same if you install a Bricopack)

Try this: link

Maybe it will help

Sorry for not replying these days, I had some trouble with my exams and I had no time to try to repair Brico packs ^^;;
In the meantime, I reinstalled a new windows. The old one had SP 2 v2096, so my direct x was completly messed up, not allowing me for example to play WoW [yes, the HORROR    ].
I just reinstalled brico packs too, and this time it works flawlessly, which led me to wonder if the cause it didn't work last time could be the infamous v2096 and its bugs ?_?

Good to hear that it finally worked out

Thank you  ^___^

But there is one last problem...
I had installed Brico Packs 1.1, and I just went to the site to download the latest one. I downloaded it, but when I try to unrar it, it tells me it's corrupted  

Then try to download the VI2 again. It should work.

If you have 1.1 installed, remember to uninstall it first.

I tried I don't know how many times already -_-
Same thing - Error, archived file is corrupted.
Could you perhaps try downloading it from the site, see if it gives you the same error?

Try this link. It is not corrupted, as I've uploaded a fully working version.. It can't be corrupted [as it is a .exe and not .zip]

Thanks, now I could download and install it ^_^

Happy to hear that Enjoy VI2..
