You can download an assortment of themes from microsoft.com

You will need some software like WinBlinds or VistaGlass.. http://www.askvg.com/how-to-install-and-use-3rd-party-themes-in-windows-vista/

You can either use VistaGlazz or tune up utilities.
You can download Vista Glazz from http://www.codegazer.com/vistaglazz/downloads/
and you can download tuneup utilities form http://www.tune-up.com/download/
tune up utilities is shareware.. you use the trial version for 30 days.

Right click your desktop and choose personalization. In the drop down menu select Vista Basic and apply.

The error you are getting says that the theme can not be loaded because theme service is not running, so to start the themes service press WIN+R on your keyboard, type "services.msc" in the run box (without commas) and from the list that opens, find the theme service and start/enable it.
