Royale Theme For XP - February 28, 2006

Royale Theme For XP

Tried of the boring old Windows XP theme? Want something new? You can now make any Windows XP Home or Pro machine look like the Windows Media Center Edition’s glossy theme. (called “Royale”) Microsoft has created a small shell file extension. The download and installation files are only about 2mb. The theme may take up slightly more memory than the standard XP theme, but is probably un-noticeable.

To install, download the .exe provided below and when it asks you where to install the files make sure “C:\WINDOWS” is selected. If you choose “C:\WINDOWS” the files will automatically be placed in the “Resources” Folder in you computer. To activate the theme just right-click on you desktop -> Properties -> Appearance -> Windows and Buttons -> select [Media Center Style]. Hit apply and wait a momment it to fully load.

Make you sure you followed the directions as stated. If you have installed it properly, all you need to do is go to the theme settings to change the skin to the new style. Also was the standard XP theme working properly on your machine before you installed this one?

zahid says

Well…i’m not able to change my desktop backround right now,but othere than that,it’s fine.

Now when i try installing it,it says this:

C:/Documents and Setting/Zahid/Desktop/RoyaleThemeForXP.exe is not a valid Win32 application

…why is this?

mgamer says

zahid: do you have XP?? this is for XP. Just dble click on the file, click RUN, & make the path c:\windows. Then right click on desktop, choose “appearance” tab, then choose “royal” or “Royal Noir” (the black one)

zahid says

yeah…i do hav XP,so wot do i do?

zahid says

and the post u replied to,i meant to say when i save the setup to the desktop,then open it nd click run,it just says C:/Documents and Setting/Zahid/Desktop/RoyaleThemeForXP.exe is not a valid Win32 application…u see?

mgamer says

zahid: I googled your error & there were like a ton of different reasons listed on various forums –I feel bad for you getting that error. but maybe you can try going from the START button –> RUN and then Browse for the file on your desktop? Sorry for not coming up with anything more specific. good luck

zahid says

can u plz give me some of the forum links?

Sahas Katta says

Try downloading the file again. Save it to your “My Documents”. Once downloaded, go to My Documents and click on the program. If it still doesn’t run, you might have a different edition of Windows XP such as a 64bit version which may not be compatible OR you do not have privileges to install this since you may not be the administrator of this machine.

zahid says

Well Sahas,i am not the administrator of my machine although,my Windows XP version is 24-bit.Anyway,ill try install it from My Documents,Thanks.

zahid says

I don’t think that was possible, however it is possible that your previous theme files may have been corrupted causing them to run slower. But anyways glad that the theme is working out! :)
