You need to patch with both 32 bit and 64 bit if you have a 64 bit version of win7.

I had a similar problem when I was installing another theme. As for the folders and windows theme file, I believe the LEFT and TOP refers to taskbar location, and just copy the folder and theme that you would like to the windows theme directory. If I wanted Dawn, I would pick the Dawn folder and the dawn theme and copy them both.
i got it. thanks for the help have some hearts
