sorry about that abdi8, that was from another thread, I clicked this one before the post completed I think...

I m not sure how to apply the msstyles but I am betting that Jafo, Paxx, BoXXi, DavidK and or Karmagirl would, probably more than a few of the others also...

The only way to install msstyles aside from the ones that come with XP is with another program, a hack. The best way to style XP is with Windowblinds. Not only can it do what Msstyles do, but it can do more if you so choose.
If you still prefer to go the msstyles root only, I believe you are on the wrong board.

You can't apply a Windowblinds skin without WindowBlinds.  WindowBlinds use their own format because they skin *more* than Windows does.

So, the cliff notes version is: you can't.  You need WindowBlinds to use the WindowBlinds skins.
