Visual Styles not applying fully or at all

from Stardock Forums

Whew!  Well I got the Molten visual style downloaded but now when I try to apply it or any of the other default visual styles that came with the install it looks like it turns everything to the "Windows Classic style" and thats it/  I have to RightClick on the Desktop -> Properties -> Appearance and reselect the Windows XP style to at least revert to normal (how things looked before having tried to apply anything in WB).

Many thanks in advance for any and all assistance.  ;)

I think 6.2 was the last one that worked with xp 64

Hmmm... that kinda blows.. but then all I want is to run the Molten VS.   ;)  Is there a way to roll back or off hand if anyone knows where I can get a hold of WB 6.2 I would appreciate it very much.  I have to get going for the day and will do some searching myself when I get in to work.  Thanks.

Pretty much the reason I have a mint version of XP 64 sitting in my drawer, never used.

tons of other software unsupported as well.
