Hi Qwerty,

Do you get an error when trying to select an Aero theme? 

You can run the Affinity apps without Aero as outlined on this post

Did not work, but thanks for your help. I did not get an error when trying to select an Aero theme all themes are just 'greyed out' . None of the other themes work either.

Where should the app be, I downloaded it from my downloads file. I am sorry to be a 'numpty' but I don't want to go back to Photoshop as I am getting used to  'PHOTO'

The downloaded installer file would be wherever you (or your browser) stored it. Probably, if your browser did it automatically, in your Downloads folder.

The installed application would be wherever you installed it. By default, c:\program files\affinity\photo or possibly c:\program files\affinity\affinity photo

If you Alt+Left-click the icon on your Desktop (or right-click it and choose ‘Properties’) the ‘Target’ field in the Properties dialog will show you the path to the program executable.
