    Hey all.

    I just bought a laptop today that came installd with vista. I'm trying to install a custome theme (patched with vista glazz) already, but i can't seem to override one of the files that i need to replace.

    Everytime i try it says that I dont have permission, and I can't figure out for the love of god how to change the permissions. I' right click on it > properties > securities, and try to select "trusted installer" but it still won't let me do anything!

    can somebody help me please? this is getting frustrating (and stupid).
