Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with THEME files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the THEME file still does not use the Microsoft Windows program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the THEME file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Plus! Desktop Theme there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the THEME file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The THEME file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to THEME files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file THEME or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected THEME files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of THEME file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair THEME file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted THEME files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the THEME file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the THEME file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the THEME file again. However, some background programs may block the THEME file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
