    Which version of 8 Skin Pack should I install.


    Hello, I am new to the Windows 7 OS and dont know which version of 8 Skin Pack to choose, x64 or x86 or xp.
    I had tried to install 8 Skin Pack xp on my laptop with windows xp running, but it bricked my computer, i.e. , it kept rebooting. It showed the default bootscreen and then rebooted showed bootscreen and rebooted and so on. So I'm scared to install 8 Skin Pack as of yet.

    If it helps i have a Program Files (x86) in C Drive.

    you say you have 7 home basic 32bit, im not sure if you can have a theme running in basic, someone else could tell us, but as you have 32bit then the theme pack you want is the x86 this is the same as 32bit

    No, actually if you install the aero patch (you can get on this site "http://www.askvg.com/download-simple-patch-to-enable-aero-glass-and-all-other-personalization-features-in-windows-7-home-basic-and-starter-edition/")then only will the theme work.I found this out on this site "http://hameddanger.deviantart.com/#/d4i051y".

    By "but as you have 32bit then the theme pack you want is the x86 this is the same as 32bit" do you mean I should install the x86 version?
