    • 1). Right-click on "Computer" and click on "Properties." In the "Windows Edition" section, you can confirm that you have Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 installed on your system. Once you know your Service Pack version, you can download and install the appropriate VistaGlazz software for your computer.

    • 2). Go to the CodeGlazer website and download VistaGlazz for your system (the link is available in the "Resources" section below).

    • 3). Install the software on your computer, but if you're prompted to run it by the installation wizard, decline to do so.

    • 4). Right-click on VistaGlazz and click on "Run as administrator." Click on "I Agree" to enter the program.

    • 5). Click on the first of three icons that appear on-screen--the ".dll" icon--and click on "Patch Originals."

    • 6). Restart the computer and run VistaGlazz again as the administrator.

    • 7). Click on the second icon (".msstyle") and click on "Patch style." You'll notice that the theme that was on your computer has become transparent, which means the system is ready for new themes to be downloaded. Close VistaGlazz after you reach this point.

    • 8). Download a new theme from the website and save it to your desktop. Extract the files and ensure that the following folders and files are available in the extraction:

      Desktop
      en-US
      Shell
      .theme (Having this file in the folder will make the process easier)

    • 9). Click on the "Start" icon and type "Run" in the "Search" box. Click on the "Run" program.

      Open the ".theme" file you downloaded and select it from the "Theme" drop-down list. Click on "Apply" and "OK" to load the theme to your computer.
