Hey whats up BetaArchive? I am thinking of switching to this theme here: http://www.redmondpie.com/mac-os-x-10.7 ... nload-now/

but I am wondering if there is any surefire way (100% success rate) to uninstall it in case i dont like it or something?

The best thing to do is to make a restore point,because most of the transformation packs are very hard to uninstall.

hmm... i forgot how to use that restore point thingy. (last used = 2007).

Test is in an Virtual Machine first and if you like it, install it.

Most themes (like this one) needs the uxtheme.dll and some more files patched (there are installers/uninstallers for them), then for some themes it you need to patch it yourself (replacing .exe files).
Some themes have an automated installer/uninstaller that does the work for you.

I don't really like transformation packs. They affect system files, tweak things in the os, consume resources, are hard to uninstall and may or may not have glitches on the UI. The choice is yours...

holy crap i cant get rid of it!! system restore has error! might have to downgrade to vista

is there anyway to restore windows to default settings? (like a restore on the iPhone, wipes out all data but all tweaks and stuff is gone)

You are out of luck,the "Restore Windows to it's default settings" will be a feature of Windows 8.So if you want to do that you will have to wait till 2012.

Hold it guys. Try System Restore through Safe Mode (google it if you don't know what that is and how to get there). You might me able to uninstall it from there too if system restore fails again.
Another solution would be to try using a third party uninstaller (google it as well).

thanks, im stuck on a theme now that i dont really like , ill try your solution.

you can use Total Uninstall like software for that. That software make restore point and installation monitoring. so then you can uinstall everything by that

Try restarting pc and press f8 on loading screen and select safe mode. Run a system restore from there. If that fails you will need to boot from vista (or windows 7) disk and delete all partitions and then re install OS from there. I don't really like or recommend transformation packs because they mess with important system files like Shell32.dll etc..

im recommend do not use any transformation pack causes of crash file system after uninstalled mostly

2nd edit :: if you wanted to change a themes or an else just go with other software or just manually like patch the theme dll first to get install the themes like that just an example..

if had crash system recover from F8 or using the DVD installation disc.. yup those method are usefull.. but if in this case.. better makes restore point from "system Protection" then you are safely to use any transformation pack..
