i use mine all the time but not with theme manager i apply the blind,the icons, and the gadgets all separately..window blinds,icon packager and desktopx takes an extra minute not a problem.... win 7 x64 i love all my vintage themes!

Jim, this is what I use for extracting stuff like this. It can damn near extract anything including .exe files and Microsoft theme files very easily. A while back I needed something to extract my Office 10 files and it worked perfect. Good tool to have in your arsenal! http://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract#download

Jim i do use 7 zip for the .mycolors file or the .suite file,then i put the windowblind folder or file in the windowblind directory and the icons in the iconpackager folder ect. a beautiful thing works perfect...

i really do like all of those vintage themes thats why i asked about the old gadgets with the x64 issue like the r.i.p. ect and you replied about updating them thanks for trying btw..

Sure, but if you ever have need to extract an exe, Uniextract is the way to go. I haven't found anything it cannot extract. Just trying to be helpful. I have serial #s listed for the Mycolor stuff on the store page.

As far as I know though you do have to have MyColors installed, and leave it installed, to load the WB portion of the themes though.  And as far as I know you also do have to do the initial activation through MyColors.

Can you even get MyColors installed on the 64bit at all, just enough to do the initial activation and leave it?  Then ya, do the extracting and apply pieces etc.

Yes, but then my PC wouldn't boot past the logon screen, as in the OP.

I know Wiz had the same problem upon installing MyColors on Win 7 64 bit. It screwed up his system royally. Took him hours to get it fixed.

So, I hope someone from support will see this thread and respond.

These are paid skins I'd like to use.

The skins graphics are corrupted because they are encrypted! once the serial # is put in and activated the graphics are fine. the my colors program and theme manager install perfect on win 7 ultimate x64 i have done it at least 4 times since oct. of 2009 when i first got my win7 disc,i do this stuff on a spare computer with the same hardware ect, to try different programs and to make sure all is good before it goes on my main computer (i know OCD )UR RIGHT..lol but i spend countless hours on all this crap just learning all the pros and cons of programs.. so let the program go out and download the files(the mycolors files) they should all Que up and install then put the serial #'s one at a time all is good! can't imagine a small program like that taken down the the whole boot process to screw the system up like that WOW i cant make that happen! 

my system is not new btw, i built it in 2010.. win 7 ultimate sp1 intel q6800 2.93ghz 8gig ddr2 800,Nvidia geforce gtx 650 ti  2 750 gig WD 

i hope that helps... sorry if i rambled, if i can help in any way please let me know

Ed..

@DaveRI....Windowblinds,Iconpackager,DesktopX,MyColors, Theme manager,activate themes and thats about it 

also i never apply themes from theme manager on x64 system screws up all the graphics i think it has something to do with the DWM part of graphics..but you have to make sure themes are installed through mycolors and activated before you apply them from there respective programs ie windowblinds iconpackager ect..  

Installing MyColors on Win 7 64 bit caused me and Wiz some major problems.

RND What did it really do as far as major probs

Geez Wizard.. damn i dont blame ya!! 1 bit holy S**t waaay too much..

i remember the clocks didnt work on 64 bit systems RND told me back in october

One of my favorite themes is Encounter but I won't install mycolors in order to decrypt the suite.  When I strip the wba out of the executable it installs but is scrambled and unusable.  At one time it was said that decrypted versions would be made available to subscribers but that ain't happened.  So it goes.  It'd be nice to have a usable version of the Encounter wba.
