But i cant find my version

My vista version is spanish:

6.0.6000.16509

Vista home premium edition

OEM_Slp channel

IS it enough downloading this patch

or do i need some other program to make msstyles i download show up?

iS there someway to make Msstyle XP to work on vista?

I ALSO need a Good visual style theme in a light colors like Lightblue, white etc..

to go with a white lightcolored desktop

Hopefully someone can help me out

I do not recommend vistaglazz, simply because it didn't patch it correctly for me. It screwed it up, and I eventually gave up trying to work with it, and did it manually. It's easy and a sure bet. Though I suppose you could try it first, like I did, I just didn't panic when it was stuck on non-aero mode.

I like how you did no research at ALLLLLLLL on any of those questions!! good.. Lets have more questions that have been answered thousands of times, please!

I wonder why you'd waste your time on answering in a topic that has (by your statement) been answered thousands of times before.

That would seem like a complete waste of time to alot of people.

After 4 months as a member, you should know by now that we actually help each other out here,

as we all don't have the same knowledge when it comes to computers.

Does this work on x64?
Good, it is still Saturday. We've modified some code and everything seems to work like it should. Beta3 will be able to fix 32bit SP1 systems that have been patched with VistaGlazz 1. VistaGlazz should identify your system as "patchable" (as opposed to "original" for untouched systems). If VistaGlazz identifies your system as corrupt or if you encounter any other problem, please let us know.

We do not have a solution for 64bit SP1 systems that are patched with VistaGlazz 1 yet, since that problem is a little bit more complex.

By this they don't mean a fresh Vista install. I just tried the latest VistaGlazz beta on my new Vista 64 system, and it works perfectly. But by all means, make a backup of the targetted dll's first.

Ditto here. I'm running Home Premium x64 and just tried Beta 3. It worked perfectly fine. Do make a backup of the system though.

    • Still hate Windows 11, I stuck it on my gaming machine again just for a nose to see what they had done, still as bad. Will restore Windows 10 back on it, suit MS anyway, they don't want me to run Windows 11 on it.
    • Ms did go with the you must sign into an account thing with Windows 8 for a while. The same sort of thing they are doing with Windows now and the MS account.
    • Hello, What sort of Microsoft Authenticator account login approval requests are you getting?  It is a generic authentication app and can be used with all sorts of services (Microsoft Account, Google Account, websites and services that support multi-factor authentication, etc.).

    • Windows 8? Nah. I found Window 8 worked well, get a third party start menu to get rid of the start screen, I used Start is back and windows 8 was pretty good. I used it even when Windows 10 came out as I found Windows 10 was iffy on my machine at the time was AMD FX Bulldozer based. It was only when I updated the innards to Ryzen that I had no choice but to go to Windows 10 as MS made it difficult to stay with Windows 8. ME, yes, that was not great, I liked the look of it, but it was not stable, shame really because Windows 98SE was the best of the dos based Windows.
