    Hi

    I've been trying to figure out how to change my theme on vista for the enitre night now, and I finally got refferenced to Vista Visual Master, which is supposed to make things easy. I understand that I needed to update a file for me to put in a new theme, and I'm pretty sure the program was supposed to do it by it's self. But when I went to the theme section of the program, there was red text at the top that said "Your theme files can't be patched, for it may have been modified by another program." I don't know what came over me, but I felt the need to click around the menu 'till I figured it out. So I clicked on the check box for the option "Transparentize titlebar when maximise windows". A little window popped up which said "Do you want to edit the current theme?" to which I clicked yes. Another window popped up, which said "You can resume to patch theme, but it will not take effect until the system is patched." to which I also clicked yes. This was the part where I realized I had made a dire mistake. My taskbar and just about everything else got changed and looks like windows 98. It is of the essence that I learn how to undo my extremely stupid act ASAP. Any help, AT ALL, would be greatly appreciated.
