    I have a few problems with this...first the themes do not appear in the Appearance Tab (don't know exactly how to install them with the copy thing ; and when i try to open UxTheme Multi-Patcher 5.5 it's saying that the OS in not compatible) and second with the Welcome Screen/Logon Screen and Boot Screen, they don't apply. Any ideea? I have Windows XP Service Pack 2...so no beta versions or staff like that. Thx!
