hi Vishal (Mr. Vista) , i have a very unsual problem, which has surfaced just yesterday.
My problem=> i'm not able to select any theme EXCEPT default Windows Classic & XP. even if i double click on your theme "windows visual style" icon located here="C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\VistaVG" the "Display Properties" window pops up & shows only "Royal XP Noir" theme & the default themes. no other theme is accessible.
i've been using your Theme (VistaVG),another one (Vista Z4), XP Noir for very long time now.
recently i unistalled "Object Dock Icon packager/Installer" (expired trial s/w), which also Un-Installed some Icon (third party) ,which is common.
but those icons are not uninstalled in other "User Account" & all the Themes work fine in that Account. (both accounts are "Administrator acc.)
P.S. i installed Object dock in C: Drive, but its not there(as a result of un-installation, so how are all those icons still working.
i ran the Tune Up Utilities 2007 "1-Click Maintanence" & CCleaner in that account & its clean now. but still all those icons & theme work in that acc.

Can I try to answer that ?
First, it looks like you will have to patch your uxtheme.dll file again. Download the Uxtheme patcher and run it.
Secondly, goto the user account and delete the Icon Cache. You can do this using TweakUI --- Repair ---- Rebuild Icons
Download Uxtheme patcher
Download Tweak UI

Thanks for your suggestions @manas.
but i did not install "uxtheme.dll", coz when i tried it, it showed me this \/\/ message & Exited.

btw i tried the "Icon Repair" from the TuneUp Utilities 2007, but nothing changed.(after taking these actions i posted here for help).
but i hadent Deleted the "IconCache.dll" located here
==>C:\Documents and Settings\BMW M3 GTR\Local Settings\Application Data" (the file located here has to be deleted. right? or is it some other one.)
there are two files, one-> "IconCache.dll" & "IconCache.db_313" @ that location. i deleted both.

Update

I did as you said, deleting the icon...file & repairing Icons using Tweak UI, but No Change.
do i have to "register" any dll file???

OK! I hv come
Buddy, the error u r getting bcoz of u hv stored the Setup files in "C:\Windows" folder, isnt it?
There must be I386 folder under "C:\Windows" folder. Just rename the folder and run the patch again

but i did not use this patcher @ first place, i've been using your themes without this.
is IconPackager behind this.
anyways, i've renamed those folders (i386 in Windows & C: drive).
i've patched & now about to restart the PC.

know what. as you've Guessed. IT WORKED.
thanks guys for Helpin me out. *smilies.sofrayt.com/fdm/bow.gif
btw are those folders neccessary (i386), b'coz as you mentioned that i've stored Setup files in WINDOWS folder, it seems to me its not needed.
its been there from the beggining, i guess the OEM XP (in my case HP Pavilion) store them there as default. *smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/upset.gif

I'm glad my trick worked
afaik, u can safely delete the folder bcoz this folder contains Setup files
Try to move the folder to Recycle Bin, if it doesnt give ne error, then u can safely delete it

THIS IS MY SCREENSHOT WITH 'FIREFOX' AND 'MY COMPUTER' OPEN:
*i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/shankarganesh/vistavg.jpgthat was good, vishal.
the title of the active window, sometimes, when maximised is not that much catchy. it's tough to read. can you rectify it, vishal?
