I just had to goto Vista, and I can't find the neowin style patcher.. could someone kindly link me to the 64 bit version?

You can't find it because it doesn't exist. The last version was made before Vista went RTM: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=308905 (and didn't support x64 for that matter)
If someone could tell me what files need patching, I might be able to whip something up in python...

I found it, but .. now I have to find otu why the hell my vista 64 bit doesn't have an aero theme. I installed it fresh.. o.O

I was about to suggest VistaGlazz, but I suppose you found it already or something equivalent.



Is it showing the bluish Vista basic style? Or are you stuck with Windows 9x styling?

If the bluish theme is currently active then either you don't have 64-bit drivers for your video card, or you need to search for some. Failing that, your video card lacks SM2, or you have a dodgy copy of Vista.

Well.. this is odd. Aero only appeared after I installed my video card drivers.

o.O

Vista... weird as hell.

Well of course, it's not just any theme. Your gfx card has to support it for it to work, and if you don't have good drivers, Vista thinks you don't have a good gfx card.

I used VistaGlazz, but I'm still unable to chage themes... must be doing something wrong although it says "patched'.

just...

I get the same exact problem here, I don't know what to do about it.

well...duh Not wierd at all, you have to have video card support to run aero.
