Vista theme for Win7

Anyone know of a way to get the Vista look on Win7? I've tried downloading what claim to be Vista themes but they won't work on my 64bit system.

Re: Vista theme for Win7

What do you mean by the 'Vista look' though?

The taskbar, start button, icons, colours etc just the general theme. I've always preferred the Vista theme over 7.

No! I don't mean that, I mean I want to download a Vista skin for 7. What you've posted doesn't make it look like Vista.

Hmmm, thanks but I've tried the first one and it didn't work. The second one makes my Norton go nuts and the third basically tells you to do the first

the 64bit explorer download didn't flag anything neither by my nod32 or jotti

direct 64bit explorer download link > http://www.upload.ee/files/564972/explorer.exe.html

jotti results > http://virusscan.jotti.org/en/scanre...75ccc3348e5921
