bphlpt Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It might help if you provide the link to the page where that theme link is found, along with the link to the theme itself. The link to the page is important so that we can help you look to see if there are any special instructions and confirm indeed that this is from a MS site. But you should be able to install .themepack files with a simple double-click. See - http://windows7themes.net/how-to-install-windows-7-themes.html.Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
